2 Samuel 7:5-11 "Go and tell my servant David, 'Thus says Yahweh: "Are you the one to build for me a house for my dwelling?

LEB⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵ "Go and tell my servant David, 'Thus says Yahweh: "Are you the one to build for me a house for my dwelling? ⁶ For I have not dwelt in a house from the day I brought up the _⌊Israelites_⌋* from Egypt until this day; rather, I was going about in a tent and in a tabernacle. ⁷ In all of my going about among all the _⌊Israelites_⌋,* did I speak a word with one of the tribes of Israel whom I commanded to shepherd my people Israel, saying, 'Why did you not build me a cedar house?'" ' ⁸ So then, thus you shall say to my servant David, 'Thus says Yahweh of hosts, "I took you from the pasture _⌊from following_⌋* the sheep to be a leader over my people, over Israel, ⁹ and I have been with you _⌊everywhere you went_⌋.* I have cut off all of your enemies from in front of you, and I will make a great name for you, as the name of the great ones who are on the earth. ¹⁰ I will make a place for my people Israel, and I will plant them* so that they* can dwell _⌊in their own place_⌋.* They will not tremble any longer, and the children of wickedness will not afflict them again, as in the former days. ¹¹ _⌊In the manner that_⌋* I appointed judges over my people Israel, I will give you rest from all your enemies. And Yahweh declares to you that Yahweh will build a house for you.
