The Ark of God Inhabits a Tent
17 (A)Now it happened when David inhabited his house, that David said to Nathan the prophet, “Behold, I inhabit a house of cedar, but the ark of the covenant of Yahweh is under tent curtains.” 2 So Nathan said to David, “Do all that is in your heart, for God is with you.”
3 Now it happened in the same night, that the word of God came to Nathan, saying, 4 “Go and say to David My servant, ‘Thus says Yahweh, “(B)You shall not build Me a house to inhabit; 5 for I have not inhabited a house since the day that I brought up Israel to this day, (C)but I have been from tent to tent and from one [a]dwelling place to another. 6 Wherever I have gone about with all Israel, did I speak a word (D)with even one of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to shepherd My people, saying, ‘Why have you not built Me a house of cedar?’”’
David’s House Will Be Established Forever
7 So now, thus shall you say to My servant David, ‘Thus says Yahweh of hosts, “I Myself took you from the pasture, from following the sheep, to be ruler over My people Israel. 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 men who are on the earth. 9 And I will appoint a place for My people Israel and will plant them, that they may dwell in their own place and not be disturbed again; and the [b]unrighteous will not waste them anymore as formerly, 10 even from the day that I commanded judges to be over My people Israel. And I will subdue all your enemies.
And I tell you that Yahweh will build a house for you. 11 And it will be that when your days are fulfilled to go to be with your fathers, I will raise up one of your seed after you, who will be of your sons; and I will establish his kingdom. 12 He shall build for Me a house, and I will establish his throne forever. 13 (E)I will be a father to him and he will be a son to Me; and I will not remove My lovingkindness from him, (F)as I removed it from him who was before you. 14 But I will cause him to stand in My house and in My kingdom forever, and his throne shall be established forever.”’” 15 According to all these words and according to all this vision, so Nathan spoke to David.
David Magnifies Yahweh’s Name
16 Then David the king went in and sat before Yahweh and said, “(G)Who am I, O Yahweh God, and what is my house that You have brought me this far? 17 And this was a small thing in Your eyes, O God; but You have spoken of the house of Your slave concerning the distant future, and have regarded me according to the standard of a man of high degree, O Yahweh God. 18 Again what more can David say to You concerning the glory bestowed on Your slave? You know Your slave. 19 O Yahweh, (H)for the sake of Your slave, and according to Your own heart, You have done all this greatness, to make known all these great things. 20 O Yahweh, there is none like You, and there is no God besides You, according to all that we have heard with our ears. 21 And what one nation in the earth is like Your people Israel, whom God went to redeem for Himself as a people, to make You a name by great and awesome things, in driving out nations from before Your people, whom You redeemed out of Egypt? 22 (I)Yet You gave Your people Israel to be Your own people forever, and You, O Yahweh, have become their God.
23 “So now, O Yahweh, let the word that You have spoken concerning Your slave and concerning his house [c]endure forever, and do as You have spoken, 24 that Your name [d]endure and be magnified forever, by saying, ‘Yahweh of hosts is the God of Israel, even a God to Israel; and the house of David Your [e]servant is established before You.’ 25 For You, O my God, have revealed in the hearing of Your slave that You will build for him a house; therefore Your slave has found courage to pray before You. 26 So now, O Yahweh, You are God, and You have [f]promised this good thing to Your slave. 27 So now, You have been pleased to bless the house of Your slave, that it may be forever before You. For You, O Yahweh, have blessed, and it is blessed forever.”

17 Engang David sad i sit Hus, sagde han til Profeten Natan: "Se, jeg har et Cedertræshus at bo i, men Herrens Pagts Ark har Plads i et Telt!" 2 Natan svarede David: "Gør alt, hvad din Hu står til, thi Gud er med dig!" 3 Men samme Nat kom Guds Ord til Natan således: 4 "Gå hen og sig til min Tjener David: Så siger Herren: Ikke du skal bygge mig det Hus, jeg skal bo i! 5 Jeg har jo ikke haft noget Hus at bo i, siden den Dag jeg førte Israeliterne op, men vandrede med, boende i et Telt. 6 Har jeg, i al den Tid jeg vandrede om blandt alle Israeliterne, sagt til nogen af Israels Dommere, som jeg satte til at vogte mit Folk: Hvorfor bygger I mig ikke et Cedertræshus? 7 Sig derfor til min Tjener David: Så siger Hærskarers Herre: Jeg tog dig fra Græsgangen, fra din Plads bag Småkvæget til at være Fyrste over mit Folk Israel, 8 og jeg var med dig, overalt hvor du færdedes, og udryddede alle dine Fjender foran dig; jeg vil skabe dig et Navn som de størstes på Jorden 9 og skaffe mit Folk Israel en Hjemstavn og plante det, så det kan blive boende på sit Sted uden mere at skulle forstyrres i sin Ro, og uden at Voldsmænd mere skal ødelægge det som tidligere, 10 dengang jeg satte Dommere over mit Folk Israel; og jeg vil underkue alle dine Fjender. Så kundgør jeg dig nu: Et Hus vil Herren bygge dig! 11 Når dine Dage er omme og du vandrer til dine Fædre, vil jeg efter dig oprejse din Sæd, en af dine Sønner, og grundfæste hans Kongedømme. 12 Han skal bygge mig et Hus, og jeg vil grundfæste hans Trone evindelig. 13 Jeg vil være ham en Fader, og han skal være mig en Søn; og min Miskundhed vil jeg ikke tage fra ham, som jeg tog den fra din Forgænger; 14 jeg vil indsætte ham i mit Hus og mit Kongedømme til evig Tid, og hans Trone skal stå fast til evig Tid!" 15 Alle disse Ord og hele denne Åbenbaring meddelte Natan David.
16 Da gik Kong David ind og dvælede for Herrens Åsyn og sagde: "Hvem er jeg, Gud Herre, og hvad er mit Hus, at du har bragt mig så vidt? 17 Men det var dig ikke nok o Gud, du gav også din Tjeners Hus Forjættelser for fjerne Tider og lod mig skue kommende Slægter, Gud Herre! 18 Hvad mere har David at sige dig? Du kender jo dog din Tjener, 19 Herre! For din Tjeners Skyld, og fordi din Hu stod dertil, gjorde du alt dette store og kundgjorde alle disse store Ting, 20 Herre! Ingen er som du, og der er ingen Gud uden dig, efter alt hvad vi har hørt med vore Ører. 21 Og hvor på Jorden findes et Folk som dit Folk Israel, et Folk, som Gud kom og udfriede og gjorde til sit Folk for at vinde sig et Navn og udføre store og frygtelige Gerninger ved at drive andre Folkeslag bort foran sit Folk, det, du udfriede fra Ægypten? 22 Du har grundfæstet dit Folk Israel som dit, Folk til evig Tid, og du, Herre, er blevet deres Gud. 23 Så lad da, Herre, den Forjættelse, du udtalte om din Tjener og hans Hus, gælde til evig Tid og gør, som du sagde! 24 Da skal dit Navn stå fast og blive stort til evig Tid, så man siger: Hærskarers Herre, Israels Gud, Gud over Israel! Og din Tjener Davids Hus skal stå fast for dit Åsyn. 25 Thi du, min Gud, har åbenbaret for din Tjener: Jeg vil bygge dig et Hus! Derfor har din Tjener dristet sig til at bede for dit Åsyn. 26 Derfor, Herre, du er Gud, du har givet din Tjener denne Forjættelse, 27 så lad det behage dig at velsigne din Tjeners Hus, at det til evig Tid må stå fast for dit Åsyn. Thi du, Herre, har velsignet det, og det bliver velsignet evindelig!"
1 Chronicles 17
King James Version
17 Now it came to pass, as David sat in his house, that David said to Nathan the prophet, Lo, I dwell in an house of cedars, but the ark of the covenant of the Lord remaineth under curtains.
2 Then Nathan said unto David, Do all that is in thine heart; for God is with thee.
3 And it came to pass the same night, that the word of God came to Nathan, saying,
4 Go and tell David my servant, Thus saith the Lord, Thou shalt not build me an house to dwell in:
5 For I have not dwelt in an house since the day that I brought up Israel unto this day; but have gone from tent to tent, and from one tabernacle to another.
6 Wheresoever I have walked with all Israel, spake I a word to any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people, saying, Why have ye not built me an house of cedars?
7 Now therefore thus shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus saith the Lord of hosts, I took thee from the sheepcote, even from following the sheep, that thou shouldest be ruler over my people Israel:
8 And I have been with thee whithersoever thou hast walked, and have cut off all thine enemies from before thee, and have made thee a name like the name of the great men that are in the earth.
9 Also I will ordain a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, and they shall dwell in their place, and shall be moved no more; neither shall the children of wickedness waste them any more, as at the beginning,
10 And since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. Moreover I will subdue all thine enemies. Furthermore I tell thee that the Lord will build thee an house.
11 And it shall come to pass, when thy days be expired that thou must go to be with thy fathers, that I will raise up thy seed after thee, which shall be of thy sons; and I will establish his kingdom.
12 He shall build me an house, and I will stablish his throne for ever.
13 I will be his father, and he shall be my son: and I will not take my mercy away from him, as I took it from him that was before thee:
14 But I will settle him in mine house and in my kingdom for ever: and his throne shall be established for evermore.
15 According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak unto David.
16 And David the king came and sat before the Lord, and said, Who am I, O Lord God, and what is mine house, that thou hast brought me hitherto?
17 And yet this was a small thing in thine eyes, O God; for thou hast also spoken of thy servant's house for a great while to come, and hast regarded me according to the estate of a man of high degree, O Lord God.
18 What can David speak more to thee for the honour of thy servant? for thou knowest thy servant.
19 O Lord, for thy servant's sake, and according to thine own heart, hast thou done all this greatness, in making known all these great things.
20 O Lord, there is none like thee, neither is there any God beside thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
21 And what one nation in the earth is like thy people Israel, whom God went to redeem to be his own people, to make thee a name of greatness and terribleness, by driving out nations from before thy people whom thou hast redeemed out of Egypt?
22 For thy people Israel didst thou make thine own people for ever; and thou, Lord, becamest their God.
23 Therefore now, Lord, let the thing that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant and concerning his house be established for ever, and do as thou hast said.
24 Let it even be established, that thy name may be magnified for ever, saying, The Lord of hosts is the God of Israel, even a God to Israel: and let the house of David thy servant be established before thee.
25 For thou, O my God, hast told thy servant that thou wilt build him an house: therefore thy servant hath found in his heart to pray before thee.
26 And now, Lord, thou art God, and hast promised this goodness unto thy servant:
27 Now therefore let it please thee to bless the house of thy servant, that it may be before thee for ever: for thou blessest, O Lord, and it shall be blessed for ever.
