2 Samuel 7:2-17 that the king said to Nathan the prophet, Behold now, I live in a house of cedar, and the ark of the Lord dwells in the midst of a tent.

CAB⁽ⁱ⁾ ² that the king said to Nathan the prophet, Behold now, I live in a house of cedar, and the ark of the Lord dwells in the midst of a tent. ³ And Nathan said to the king, Go and do all that is in your heart, for the Lord is with you. ⁴ And it came to pass in that night, that the word of the Lord came to Nathan, saying, ⁵ Go, and say to My servant David, Thus says the Lord, You shall not build Me a house to dwell in. ⁶ For I have not dwelt in a house from the day that I brought up the children of Israel out of Egypt to this day, but I have been walking in a lodge and in a tent, ⁷ wheresoever I went with all Israel. Have I ever spoken to any of the tribes of Israel, which I commanded to tend My people Israel, saying, Why have you not built Me a house of Cedar? ⁸ And now thus shall you say to My servant David: Thus says the Lord Almighty, I took you from the sheepfold, that you should be a prince over My people, over Israel. ⁹ And I was with you wherever you went, and I destroyed all your enemies before you, and I made you renowned according to the renown of the great ones on the earth. ¹⁰ And I will appoint a place for My people Israel, and I will plant them, and they shall dwell by themselves, and shall be distressed no longer; and the son of iniquity shall afflict them no longer, as he has done from the beginning, ¹¹ from the days when I appointed judges over My people Israel: and I will give you rest from all your enemies, and the Lord declares to you, that He shall build you a house. ¹² And it shall come to pass when your days have been fulfilled, and you sleep with your fathers, that I will raise up your seed after you, even from your own body, and I will establish his kingdom. ¹³ He shall build for Me a house for My name, and I will set up his throne, even forever. ¹⁴ I will be to him a father, and he shall be to Me a son. And when he happens to transgress, then will I chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the sons of men. ¹⁵ But My mercy I will not take from him, as I took it from those whom I removed from My presence. ¹⁶ And his house shall be made sure, and his kingdom forever before Me, and his throne shall be established forever. ¹⁷ According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so Nathan spoke to David.
