⁵ “Go and say to My servant David, ‘Thus says Yahweh, “^(A)Are you the one who would build Me a house to inhabit?

^12 (A)When your days are fulfilled and you ^(B)lie down with your fathers, ^(C)I will raise up one of your seed after you, who will come forth from ^[a]your own body, and I will establish his kingdom. ^13 (D)He shall build a house for My name, and ^(E)I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.

³ “You know that ^(A)David my father was unable to build a house for the name of Yahweh his God because of the wars which surrounded him, until Yahweh put them under the soles of his feet.

⁵ So behold, ^(A)I ^[a]intend to build a house for the name of Yahweh my God, as Yahweh spoke to David my father, saying, ‘Your son, whom I will set on your throne in your place, he will build the house for My name.’

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.

⁸ But the word of Yahweh came to me, saying, ‘^(A)You have shed much blood and have ^[a]waged great wars; you shall not build a house for My name, because you have shed so much blood on the earth before Me. ⁹ Behold, a son will be born to you, who shall be a man of rest; and ^(B)I will give him rest from all his enemies on every side; for ^(C)his name shall be ^[b]Solomon, and I will give peace and quiet to Israel in his days. ^10 (D)He shall build a house for My name, and he shall be a son to Me and I will be a father to him; and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel forever.’
