2 Samuel 7:1-5

Thomson(i) 1 Now when the king was settled in his house, and the Lord had given him rest on every side, from all his enemies round about, 2 the king said to Nathan the prophet, Behold I dwell in a house of cedar, but the ark of God dwelleth in the midst of the tabernacle. 3 Upon which Nathan said to the king, Whatever may be in thy heart, go and do; for the Lord is with thee. 4 But that night a word of the Lord came to Nathan saying, 5 Go and say to my servant David, Thus saith the Lord, Art not thou to build me a house to dwell in?
