1
It happened, when the king lived in his house, and Yahweh had given him rest from all his enemies round about,
2
that the king said to Nathan the prophet, See now, I dwell in a house of cedar, but the ark of God dwells within curtains.
3
Nathan said to the king, Go, do all that is in your heart; for Yahweh is with you.
4
It happened the same night, that the word of Yahweh came to Nathan, saying,
5
Go and tell my servant David, Thus says Yahweh, Shall you build me a house for me to dwell in?
