7W 2 Samuel 7 |
Key: (H)ub (G)ateway (S)trong's New Defender's Other |

1 | And it came to pass, when the king sat in his house, and the LORD had given him rest round about from all his enemies; | H · G · S |
2 | That the king said unto Nathan the prophet, See now, I dwell in an house of cedar, but the ark of God dwelleth within curtains. | H · G · S |
3 |
And Nathan said to the king, Go,
do all that is in thine heart; for the LORD is with thee.
|
H · G · S |
4 | And it came to pass that night, that the word of the LORD came unto Nathan, saying, | H · G · S |
5 | Go and tell my servant David, Thus saith the LORD, Shalt thou build me an house for me to dwell in? | H · G · S |
6 | Whereas I have not dwelt in any house since the time that I brought up the children of Israel out of Egypt, even to this day, but have walked in a tent and in a tabernacle. | H · G · S |
7 | In all the places wherein I have walked with all the children of Israel spake I a word with any of the tribes of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people Israel, saying, Why build ye not me an house of cedar? | H · G · S |
8 | Now therefore so shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I took thee from the sheepcote, from following the sheep, to be ruler over my people, over Israel: | H · G · S |
9 | And I was with thee whithersoever thou wentest, and have cut off all thine enemies out of thy sight, and have made thee a great name, like unto the name of the great men that are in the earth. | H · G · S |
10 | Moreover I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own, and move no more; neither shall the children of wickedness afflict them any more, as beforetime, | H · G · S |
11 |
And as since the time that I
commanded judges to be over my people Israel, and have caused thee
to rest from all thine enemies. Also the LORD telleth thee that he will
make thee an house.
|
H · G · S |
12 | And when thy days be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom. | H · G · S thy seed |
13 | He shall build an house for my name, and I will stablish the throne of his kingdom for ever. | H · G · S |
14 | I will be his father, and he shall be my son. If he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men: | H · G · S my son commit iniquity H105 2S7 |
15 | But my mercy shall not depart away from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before thee. | H · G · S shall not depart |
16 | And thine house and thy kingdom shall be established for ever before thee: thy throne shall be established for ever. | H · G · S for ever before |
17 |
According to all these words, and
according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak unto David.
|
H · G · S |
18 | Then went king David in, and sat before the LORD, and he said, Who am I, O Lord GOD? and what is my house, that thou hast brought me hitherto? | H · G · S |
19 | And this was yet a small thing in thy sight, O Lord GOD; but thou hast spoken also of thy servant's house for a great while to come. And is this the manner of man, O Lord GOD? | H · G · S |
20 | And what can David say more unto thee? for thou, Lord GOD, knowest thy servant. | H · G · S |
21 | For thy word's sake, and according to thine own heart, hast thou done all these great things, to make thy servant know them. | H · G · S |
22 | Wherefore thou art great, O LORD God: for 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 |
23 | And what one nation in the earth is like thy people, even like Israel, whom God went to redeem for a people to himself, and to make him a name, and to do for you great things and terrible, for thy land, before thy people, which thou redeemedst to thee from Egypt, from the nations and their gods? | H · G · S |
24 | For thou hast confirmed to thyself thy people Israel to be a people unto thee for ever: and thou, LORD, art become their God. | H · G · S unto thee for ever |
25 | And now, O LORD God, the word that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant, and concerning his house, establish it for ever, and do as thou hast said. | H · G · S |
26 | And let thy name be magnified for ever, saying, The LORD of hosts is the God over Israel: and let the house of thy servant David be established before thee. | H · G · S |
27 | For thou, O LORD of hosts, God of Israel, hast revealed to thy servant, saying, I will build thee an house: therefore hath thy servant found in his heart to pray this prayer unto thee. | H · G · S |
28 | And now, O Lord GOD, thou art that God, and thy words be true, and thou hast promised this goodness unto thy servant: | H · G · S thy words be true |
29 |
Therefore now let it please thee
to bless the house of thy servant, that it may continue for ever before
thee: for thou, O Lord GOD, hast spoken it: and with thy blessing
let the house of thy servant be blessed for ever.
