1 Crónicas 17:1-15
Palabra de Dios para Todos
Promesa de Dios a David
(2 S 7:1-29)
17 Cuando David se instaló en su palacio, le dijo al profeta Natán:
—Mira, ahora vivo en una buena casa hecha de cedro, mientras que el cofre del pacto del SEÑOR se encuentra en una carpa.
2 Natán le respondió:
—Disponga, Su Majestad, que Dios está con usted.
3 Pero aquella noche, la palabra del SEÑOR vino a Natán, diciendo:
4 «Dile a mi siervo David que el SEÑOR dice: “No eres tú quien me construirá una casa para que yo viva en ella. 5 Cuando saqué al pueblo de Israel,[a] no vivía en una casa, sino que viajaba de carpa en carpa y de lugar en lugar. 6 He estado por todo Israel, pero ¿acaso he pedido a alguno de los jefes que elegí para que guiara a mi pueblo que me construyera una casa de cedro?”
7 »También dile: “Esto dice el SEÑOR Todopoderoso: Yo te elegí cuando pastoreabas las ovejas, te saqué de eso y te hice el líder de mi pueblo, Israel. 8 He estado contigo dondequiera que has ido. He derrotado a tus enemigos y te haré uno de los personajes más famosos del mundo. 9 También elegí un lugar para mi pueblo Israel. Lo he establecido en ese lugar para que tenga un sitio propio y allí nadie lo moleste ni la gente mala lo oprima como sucedió antes, 10 cuando envié jefes para que dirigieran al pueblo de Israel. Yo someteré a todos tus enemigos y quiero que sepas que yo, el SEÑOR, te daré descendencia.[b] 11 Cuando llegues al final de tu vida, te irás a donde están tus antepasados, pero entonces haré rey a uno de tus hijos y protegeré su reino. 12 Él me construirá una casa para mi nombre, y yo fortaleceré su reino por siempre. 13 Yo seré su padre y él será mi hijo. No le quitaré mi fiel amor, como se lo quité al que gobernó antes que tú. 14 Le encargaré para siempre mi casa y mi reino, y su trono durará para siempre”».
15 Natán le informó a David sobre esa visión y todo lo que Dios había dicho.

New King James Version
God’s Covenant with David(A)
17 Now (B)it came to pass, when David was dwelling in his house, that David said to Nathan the prophet, “See now, I dwell in a house of cedar, but the ark of the covenant of the Lord is under tent curtains.”
2 Then Nathan said to David, “Do all that is in your heart, for God is with you.”
3 But it happened that night that the word of God came to Nathan, saying, 4 “Go and tell My servant David, ‘Thus says the Lord: “You shall (C)not build Me a house to dwell in. 5 For I have not dwelt in a house since the time that I brought up Israel, even to this day, but have gone from tent to tent, and from one tabernacle to another. 6 Wherever I have moved about with all Israel, have I ever spoken a word to any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to shepherd My people, saying, ‘Why have you not built Me a house of cedar?’ ” ’ 7 Now therefore, thus shall you say to My servant David, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts: “I took you (D)from the sheepfold, from following the sheep, to be [a]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 have [b]made you a name like the name of the great men who are on the earth. 9 Moreover I will appoint a place for My people Israel, and will (E)plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own and move no more; nor shall the sons of wickedness oppress them anymore, as previously, 10 since the time that I commanded judges to be over My people Israel. Also I will subdue all your enemies. Furthermore I tell you that the Lord will build you a [c]house. 11 And it shall be, when your days are (F)fulfilled, when you must [d]go to be with your fathers, that I will set up your (G)seed after you, who will be of your sons; and I will establish his kingdom. 12 (H)He shall build Me a house, and I will establish his throne forever. 13 (I)I will be his Father, and he shall be My son; and I will not take My mercy away from him, (J)as I took it from him who was before you. 14 And (K)I will establish him 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.
