| 1 | It happened, when David lived in his house, that David said to Nathan the prophet, Behold, I dwell in a house of cedar, but the ark of the covenant of Yahweh [dwells] under curtains. | 2Sa 7:1 2Sa 7:2-17 2Ch 6:7-9 Dn 4:4 Dn 4:29 Dn 4:30 |
| 2 | Nathan said to David, Do all that is in your heart; for God is with you. | 1Ch 22:7 1Ch 28:2 Jsh 9:14 1Sa 16:7 Ps 20:4 1Co 13:9 |
| 3 | It happened the same night, that the word of God came to Nathan, saying, | Nm 12:6 2Ki 20:1-5 Isa 30:21 Am 3:7 |
| 4 | Go and tell David my servant, Thus says Yahweh, You shall not build me a house to dwell in: | Isa 55:8 Isa 55:9 Ro 11:33 Ro 11:34 |
| 5 | for I have not lived in a house since the day that I brought up Israel, to this day, but have gone from tent to tent, and from [one] tent [to another]. | 2Sa 7:6 1Ki 8:27 2Ch 2:6 2Ch 6:18 Isa 66:1 Isa 66:2 Ac 7:44-50 |
| 6 | In all places in which I have walked with all Israel, spoke I a word with any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to be shepherd of my people, saying, Why have you not built me a house of cedar? | Ex 33:14 Ex 33:14 Ex 33:15 Ex 40:35-38 Lv 26:11 Lv 26:12 Nm 10:33-36 Dt 23:14 2Co 6:16 Rev 2:1 |
| 7 | Now therefore thus shall you tell my servant David, Thus says Yahweh of Hosts, I took you from the sheep pen, from following the sheep, that you should be prince over my people Israel: | Ex 3:1-10 1Sa 16:11 1Sa 16:12 1Sa 17:15 2Sa 7:8 Ps 78:70 Ps 78:71 Am 7:14 Am 7:15 Mt 4:18-22 Lk 5:10 |
| 8 | and I have been with you wherever you have gone, and have cut off all your enemies from before you; and I will make you a name, like the name of the great ones who are in the earth. | 1Ch 17:2 Gn 28:15 1Sa 18:14 1Sa 18:28 2Sa 7:9 2Sa 8:6 2Sa 8:8 2Sa 8:14 Ps 46:7 Ps 46:11 |
| 9 | I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in their own place, and be moved no more; neither shall the children of wickedness waste them any more, as at the first, | Jer 31:3-12 Ezk 34:13 |
| 10 | and [as] from the day that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel; and I will subdue all your enemies. Moreover I tell you that Yahweh will build you a house. | Jg 2:14-18 Jg 3:8 Jg 4:3 Jg 6:3-6 1Sa 13:5 1Sa 13:6 1Sa 13:19 1Sa 13:20 |
| 11 | It shall happen, when your days are fulfilled that you must go to be with your fathers, that I will set up your seed after you, who shall be of your sons; and I will establish his kingdom. | 1Ch 29:15 1Ch 29:28 Ac 13:36 |
| 12 | He shall build me a house, and I will establish his throne forever. | 1Ch 22:9 1Ch 22:10 1Ch 28:6-10 1Ki 5:5 2Ch 3:1-4 Ezr 5:11 Zc 6:12 Zc 6:13 Jn 2:19-21 Ac 7:47 Ac 7:48 Col 2:9 |
| 13 | I will be his father, and he shall be my son: and I will not take my lovingkindness away from him, as I took it from him that was before you; | 2Sa 7:14 Ps 89:26-28 Ps 89:29-37 Isa 55:3 Heb 1:5 |
| 14 | but I will settle him in my house and in my kingdom forever; and his throne shall be established forever. | Ps 2:6 Ps 72:17 Ps 89:36 Lk 1:32 Lk 1:33 Heb 3:6 |
| 15 | According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak to David. | 2Sa 7:17 Jer 23:28 Ac 20:27 |
| 16 | Then David the king went in, and sat before Yahweh; and he said, Who am I, Yahweh God, and what is my house, that you have brought me thus far? | 2Sa 7:18 2Ki 19:14 |
| 17 | This was a small thing in your eyes, God; but you have spoken of your servant`s house for a great while to come, and have regarded me according to the estate of a man of high degree, Yahweh God. | 1Ch 17:7 1Ch 17:8 2Sa 7:19 2Sa 12:8 2Ki 3:18 Isa 49:6 |
| 18 | What can David [say] yet more to you concerning the honor which is done to your servant? for you know your servant. | 1Sa 2:30 2Sa 7:20-24 |
| 19 | Yahweh, for your servant`s sake, and according to your own heart, have you worked all this greatness, to make known all [these] great things. | Isa 37:35 Isa 42:1 Isa 49:3 Isa 49:5 Isa 49:6 Dn 9:17 |
| 20 | Yahweh, there is none like you, neither is there any God besides you, according to all that we have heard with our ears. | Ex 15:11 Ex 18:11 Dt 3:24 Dt 33:26 Ps 86:8 Ps 89:6 Ps 89:8 Isa 40:18 Isa 40:25 Jer 10:6 Jer 10:7 Eph 3:20 |
| 21 | What one nation in the earth is like your people Israel, whom God went to redeem to himself for a people, to make you a name by great and awesome things, in driving out nations from before your people, whom you redeem out of Egypt? | Dt 4:7 Dt 4:32-34 Dt 33:26-29 Ps 147:20 |
| 22 | For your people Israel did you make your own people forever; and you, Yahweh, became their God. | Gn 17:7 Ex 19:5 Ex 19:6 Dt 7:6-8 Dt 26:18 Dt 26:19 1Sa 12:22 Jer 31:31-34 Zc 13:9 Ro 9:4-6 Ro 9:25-6 Ro 9:26-6 Ro 11:1 Ro 11:2-12 1Pe 2:9 |
| 23 | Now, Yahweh, let the word that you have spoken concerning your servant, and concerning his house, be established forever, and do as you have spoken. | Gn 32:12 2Sa 7:25-29 Ps 119:49 Jer 11:5 Lk 1:38 |
| 24 | Let your name be established and magnified forever, saying, Yahweh of Hosts is the God of Israel, even a God to Israel: and the house of David your servant is established before you. | 2Ch 6:33 Ps 21:13 Ps 72:19 Mt 6:9 Mt 6:13 Jn 12:28 Jn 17:1 Php 2:11 1Pe 4:11 |
| 25 | For you, my God, have revealed to your servant that you will build him a house: therefore has your servant found [in his heart] to pray before you. | 1Sa 9:15 |
| 26 | Now, Yahweh, you are God, and have promised this good thing to your servant: | Ex 34:6 Ex 34:7 Tit 1:2 Heb 6:18 |
| 27 | and now it has pleased you to bless the house of your servant, that it may continue forever before you: for you, Yahweh, have blessed, and it is blessed forever. | Gn 27:33 Ps 72:17 Ro 11:29 Eph 1:3 |
