17C  1 Chronicles 17	Key: (H)ub (G)ateway (S)trong's New Defender's Other
1	Now it came to pass, as David sat in his house, that David said to Nathan the prophet, Lo, I dwell in an house of cedars, but the ark of the covenant of the LORD remaineth under curtains.	H · G · S  Nathan the prophet
2	Then Nathan said unto David, Do all that is in thine heart; for God is with thee.	H · G · S
3	And it came to pass the same night, that the word of God came to Nathan, saying,	H · G · S
4	Go and tell David my servant, Thus saith the LORD, Thou shalt not build me an house to dwell in:	H · G · S
5	For I have not dwelt in an house since the day that I brought up Israel unto this day; but have gone from tent to tent, and from one tabernacle to another.	H · G · S
6	Wheresoever I have walked with all Israel, spake I a word to any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people, saying, Why have ye not built me an house of cedars?	H · G · S
7	Now therefore thus shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I took thee from the sheepcote, even from following the sheep, that thou shouldest be ruler over my people Israel:	H · G · S
8	And I have been with thee whithersoever thou hast walked, and have cut off all thine enemies from before thee, and have made thee a name like the name of the great men that are in the earth.	H · G · S
9	Also I will ordain a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, and they shall dwell in their place, and shall be moved no more; neither shall the children of wickedness waste them any more, as at the beginning,	H · G · S
10	And since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. Moreover I will subdue all thine enemies. Furthermore I tell thee that the LORD will build thee an house.	H · G · S  build thee an house
11	And it shall come to pass, when thy days be expired that thou must go to be with thy fathers, that I will raise up thy seed after thee, which shall be of thy sons; and I will establish his kingdom.	H · G · S  with thy fathers
12	He shall build me an house, and I will stablish his throne for ever.	H · G · S  build me an house for ever
13	I will be his father, and he shall be my son: and I will not take my mercy away from him, as I took it from him that was before thee:	H · G · S
14	But I will settle him in mine house and in my kingdom for ever: and his throne shall be established for evermore.	H · G · S
15	According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak unto David.	H · G · S
16	And David the king came and sat before the LORD, and said, Who am I, O LORD God, and what is mine house, that thou hast brought me hitherto?	H · G · S
17	And yet this was a small thing in thine eyes, O God; for thou hast also spoken of thy servant's house for a great while to come, and hast regarded me according to the estate of a man of high degree, O LORD God.	H · G · S
18	What can David speak more to thee for the honour of thy servant? for thou knowest thy servant.	H · G · S
19	O LORD, for thy servant's sake, and according to thine own heart, hast thou done all this greatness, in making known all these great things.	H · G · S
20	O LORD, there is none like thee, neither is there any God beside thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.	H · G · S  none like thee
21	And what one nation in the earth is like thy people Israel, whom God went to redeem to be his own people, to make thee a name of greatness and terribleness, by driving out nations from before thy people, whom thou hast redeemed out of Egypt?	H · G · S
22	For thy people Israel didst thou make thine own people for ever; and thou, LORD, becamest their God.	H · G · S
23	Therefore now, LORD, let the thing that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant and concerning his house be established for ever, and do as thou hast said.	H · G · S
24	Let it even be established, that thy name may be magnified for ever, saying, The LORD of hosts is the God of Israel, even a God to Israel: and let the house of David thy servant be established before thee.	H · G · S
25	For thou, O my God, hast told thy servant that thou wilt build him an house: therefore thy servant hath found in his heart to pray before thee.	H · G · S
26	And now, LORD, thou art God, and hast promised this goodness unto thy servant:	H · G · S
27	Now therefore let it please thee to bless the house of thy servant, that it may be before thee for ever: for thou blessest, O LORD, and it shall be blessed for ever.	H · G · S
