Herren lovar David evig makt

(1 Krön 17:1-15)

7 När David hade bott en tid i sitt nya palats[a] och Herren hade låtit honom få ro för alla hans fiender runt omkring, 2 sa kungen till profeten Natan: ”Här bor jag i ett hus med väggar av cederträ, medan Guds ark får stå i ett tält!”

3 ”Gå, gör vad du har i sinnet”, svarade Natan, ”för Herren är med dig.”

4 Men samma natt kom Herrens ord till Natan:

5 ”Gå och säg till min tjänare David: Så säger Herren: Skulle du bygga ett hus åt mig att bo i? 6 Jag har aldrig bott i hus utan i ett tält och i en boning som har flyttats från plats till plats ända sedan jag förde Israels folk ut ur Egypten. 7 Under hela denna tid som jag förflyttat mig med israeliterna har jag väl aldrig frågat någon av Israels stammar, de som jag utsåg till herdar för mitt folk Israel, varför de inte byggt mig ett hus av cederträ?

8 Säg så här till min tjänare David: ’Så säger härskarornas Herre: Jag tog dig från betesmarken och fåren när du var en herde och har gjort dig till furste över mitt folk Israel. 9 Jag har varit med dig vart du än gått. Jag har utrotat dina fiender framför dig. Jag ska göra dig ett stort namn, lika ryktbart som de största på hela jorden. 10 Jag ska bereda en plats åt mitt folk Israel i ett land där de kan få ett hem utan att bli störda. Ogudaktiga folk ska inte längre kunna hota dem som de gjorde tidigare, 11 på den tiden när jag tillsatte domare över mitt folk Israel. Själv ska du få leva i fred för alla dina fiender.

Nu kungör Herren att han ska bygga ett hus åt dig. 12 När dina dagar är till ända och du vilar hos dina förfäder, ska jag upphöja din avkomling[b] som skall utgå ur ditt liv på din tron, och jag ska befästa hans kungarike. 13 Han är den som ska bygga ett hus åt mitt namn och jag ska befästa hans tron för evigt. 14 Jag ska vara hans Far, och han ska vara min son.[c] Om han syndar, ska jag straffa honom med ris och slag, så som människor agar sina barn, 15 men min nåd ska inte vika från honom, som den vek från Saul som jag tog bort från dig. 16 Din familj och ditt kungavälde ska bestå inför mig i evighet och din tron ska bestå i evighet.’ ”

17 Natan berättade för David allt det som Herren hade sagt och uppenbarat.

David tar emot Herrens välsignelse

(1 Krön 17:16-27)

18 Då gick kung David in och satte sig inför Herren och sa:

”Herre, Herre, vem är jag och vad är min familj, eftersom du har fört mig ända hit? 19 Skulle inte det du redan har gjort vara nog i dina ögon, Herre, Herre? Nu har du också berättat om framtiden för din tjänares ätt! Brukar du Herre, Herre, verkligen göra så mycket för människor?[d] 20 Vad ska David mera säga till dig? Du känner din tjänare, Herre, Herre. 21 För ditt eget löftes skull och enligt din vilja har du gjort allt detta stora och låtit mig, din tjänare få veta det. 22 Herre, Herre, du är stor, det finns ingen som du! Det finns ingen annan Gud än du! Det har vi hört med våra egna öron. 23 Vilket folk på jorden är som ditt folk, som Israel? Det är den enda nation på jorden med en Gud som har lett och räddat den åt sig som sin egen, för att göra sitt namn[e] känt genom stora och mäktiga under. Sådant gjorde du när du fördrev andra folk för ditt folk som du har räddat ut ur Egypten, från folk och deras gudar. 24 Du utvalde Israel till ditt eget folk för evigt, och du, Herre, har blivit deras Gud.

25 Herre Gud, låt nu det ord stå fast som du har talat om mig, din tjänare, och om min ätt, och gör vad du lovat. 26 Då kommer ditt namn att bli ärat i evighet och man ska säga: ’Härskarornas Herre är Gud över Israel’. Och din tjänare Davids hus kommer att bestå inför dig. 27 Du, härskarornas Herre, Israels Gud, har uppenbarat för mig, din tjänare, att du vill bygga ett hus åt mig. Därför har jag, din tjänare, frimodighet att be denna bön. 28 Du, Herre, Herre, är Gud! Dina ord skall visa sig sanning, och du har lovat mig, din tjänare, allt detta underbara. 29 Välsigna därför din tjänares hus, så att det får bestå inför dig för evigt, så som du, Herre, Herre, har lovat! Låt din välsignelse för evigt bli kvar över din tjänares hus.”

David Plans to Build a Temple

7 (A)Now it came about when the king lived in his house, and the Lord had given him rest on every side from all his enemies, 2 that the king said to (B)Nathan the prophet, “See now, I dwell in (C)a house of cedar, but the ark of God (D)dwells within tent curtains.” 3 Nathan said to the king, “(E)Go, do all that is in your mind, for the Lord is with you.”

4 But in the same night the word of the Lord came to Nathan, saying, 5 “Go and say to My servant David, ‘Thus says the Lord, “(F)Are you the one who should build Me a house to dwell in? 6 For (G)I have not dwelt in a house since the day I brought up the sons of Israel from Egypt, even to this day; but I have been moving about (H)in a tent, even in a [a]tabernacle. 7 (I)Wherever I have gone with all the sons of Israel, did I speak a word with one of the tribes of Israel, (J)which I commanded to shepherd My people Israel, saying, ‘Why have you not built Me a house of cedar?’”’

God’s Covenant with David

8 “Now therefore, thus you shall say to My servant David, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts, “(K)I took you from the pasture, from following the sheep, (L)to be ruler over My people Israel. 9 (M)I have been with you wherever you have gone and (N)have cut off all your enemies from before you; and I will make you a great name, like the names of the great men who are on the earth. 10 I will also appoint a place for My people Israel and (O)will plant them, that they may live in their own place and not be disturbed again, (P)nor will the [b]wicked afflict them any more as formerly, 11 even (Q)from the day that I commanded judges to be over My people Israel; and (R)I will give you rest from all your enemies. The Lord also declares to you that (S)the Lord will make a house for you. 12 (T)When your days are complete and you (U)lie down with your fathers, (V)I will raise up your [c]descendant after you, who will come forth from [d]you, and I will establish his kingdom. 13 (W)He shall build a house for My name, and (X)I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever. 14 (Y)I will be a father to him and he will be a son to Me; (Z)when he commits iniquity, I will correct him with the rod of men and the strokes of the sons of men, 15 but My lovingkindness shall not depart from him, (AA)as I took it away from Saul, whom I removed from before you. 16 (AB)Your house and your kingdom shall endure before [e]Me forever; your throne shall be established forever.”’” 17 In accordance with all these words and all this vision, so Nathan spoke to David.

David’s Prayer

18 Then David the king went in and sat before the Lord, and he said, “(AC)Who am I, O Lord [f]God, and what is my house, that You have brought me this far? 19 And yet this was insignificant in Your eyes, O Lord God, (AD)for You have spoken also of the house of Your servant concerning the distant future. And (AE)this is the [g]custom of man, O Lord God. 20 Again what more can David say to You? For (AF)You know Your servant, O Lord God! 21 (AG)For the sake of Your word, and according to Your own heart, You have done all this greatness to let Your servant know. 22 For this reason (AH)You are great, O Lord God; for (AI)there is none like You, and there is no God besides You, (AJ)according to all that we have heard with our ears. 23 And (AK)what one nation on the earth is like Your people Israel, whom God went to redeem for Himself as a people and to make a name for Himself, and (AL)to do a great thing for You and awesome things for Your land, before (AM)Your people whom (AN)You have redeemed for Yourself from Egypt, from nations and their gods? 24 For (AO)You have established for Yourself Your people Israel as Your own people forever, and (AP)You, O Lord, have become their God. 25 Now therefore, O Lord God, the word that You have spoken concerning Your servant and his house, confirm it forever, and do as You have spoken, 26 (AQ)that Your name may be magnified forever, by saying, ‘The Lord of hosts is God over Israel’; and may the house of Your servant David be established before You. 27 For You, O Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, have [h]made a revelation to Your servant, saying, ‘(AR)I will build you a house’; therefore Your servant has found [i]courage to pray this prayer to You. 28 Now, O Lord God, You are God, and (AS)Your words are truth, and You have [j]promised this good thing to Your servant. 29 Now therefore, may it please You to bless the house of Your servant, that it may continue forever before You. For You, O Lord God, have spoken; and (AT)with Your blessing may the house of Your servant be blessed forever.”

God’s Promise to David(A)

7 After the king was settled in his palace(B) and the Lord had given him rest from all his enemies(C) around him,(D) 2 he said to Nathan(E) the prophet, “Here I am, living in a house(F) of cedar, while the ark of God remains in a tent.”(G)

3 Nathan replied to the king, “Whatever you have in mind,(H) go ahead and do it, for the Lord is with you.”

4 But that night the word of the Lord came to Nathan, saying:

5 “Go and tell my servant David, ‘This is what the Lord says: Are you(I) the one to build me a house to dwell in?(J) 6 I have not dwelt in a house from the day I brought the Israelites up out of Egypt to this day.(K) I have been moving from place to place with a tent(L) as my dwelling.(M) 7 Wherever I have moved with all the Israelites,(N) did I ever say to any of their rulers whom I commanded to shepherd(O) my people Israel, “Why have you not built me a house(P) of cedar?(Q)”’

8 “Now then, tell my servant David, ‘This is what the Lord Almighty says: I took you from the pasture, from tending the flock,(R) and appointed you ruler(S) over my people Israel.(T) 9 I have been with you wherever you have gone,(U) and I have cut off all your enemies from before you.(V) Now I will make your name great, like the names of the greatest men on earth.(W) 10 And I will provide a place for my people Israel and will plant(X) them so that they can have a home of their own and no longer be disturbed.(Y) Wicked(Z) people will not oppress them anymore,(AA) as they did at the beginning 11 and have done ever since the time I appointed leaders[a](AB) over my people Israel. I will also give you rest from all your enemies.(AC)

“‘The Lord declares(AD) to you that the Lord himself will establish(AE) a house(AF) for you: 12 When your days are over and you rest(AG) with your ancestors, I will raise up your offspring to succeed you, your own flesh and blood,(AH) and I will establish his kingdom.(AI) 13 He is the one who will build a house(AJ) for my Name,(AK) and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.(AL) 14 I will be his father, and he will be my son.(AM) When he does wrong, I will punish him(AN) with a rod(AO) wielded by men, with floggings inflicted by human hands. 15 But my love will never be taken away from him,(AP) as I took it away from Saul,(AQ) whom I removed from before you. 16 Your house and your kingdom will endure forever before me[b]; your throne(AR) will be established(AS) forever.(AT)’”

17 Nathan reported to David all the words of this entire revelation.

David’s Prayer(AU)

18 Then King David went in and sat before the Lord, and he said:

“Who am I,(AV) Sovereign Lord, and what is my family, that you have brought me this far? 19 And as if this were not enough in your sight, Sovereign Lord, you have also spoken about the future of the house of your servant—and this decree,(AW) Sovereign Lord, is for a mere human![c]

20 “What more can David say(AX) to you? For you know(AY) your servant,(AZ) Sovereign Lord. 21 For the sake of your word and according to your will, you have done this great thing and made it known to your servant.

22 “How great(BA) you are,(BB) Sovereign Lord! There is no one like(BC) you, and there is no God(BD) but you, as we have heard with our own ears.(BE) 23 And who is like your people Israel(BF)—the one nation on earth that God went out to redeem as a people for himself, and to make a name(BG) for himself, and to perform great and awesome wonders(BH) by driving out nations and their gods from before your people, whom you redeemed(BI) from Egypt?[d] 24 You have established your people Israel as your very own(BJ) forever, and you, Lord, have become their God.(BK)

25 “And now, Lord God, keep forever the promise(BL) you have made concerning your servant and his house. Do as you promised, 26 so that your name(BM) will be great forever. Then people will say, ‘The Lord Almighty is God over Israel!’ And the house of your servant David will be established(BN) in your sight.

27 “Lord Almighty, God of Israel, you have revealed this to your servant, saying, ‘I will build a house for you.’ So your servant has found courage to pray this prayer to you. 28 Sovereign Lord, you are God! Your covenant is trustworthy,(BO) and you have promised these good things to your servant. 29 Now be pleased to bless the house of your servant, that it may continue forever in your sight; for you, Sovereign Lord, have spoken, and with your blessing(BP) the house of your servant will be blessed forever.”

2 Samuel 7
King James Version

7 And it came to pass, when the king sat in his house, and the Lord had given him rest round about from all his enemies;

2 That the king said unto Nathan the prophet, See now, I dwell in an house of cedar, but the ark of God dwelleth within curtains.

3 And Nathan said to the king, Go, do all that is in thine heart; for the Lord is with thee.

4 And it came to pass that night, that the word of the Lord came unto Nathan, saying,

5 Go and tell my servant David, Thus saith the Lord, Shalt thou build me an house for me to dwell in?

6 Whereas I have not dwelt in any house since the time that I brought up the children of Israel out of Egypt, even to this day, but have walked in a tent and in a tabernacle.

7 In all the places wherein I have walked with all the children of Israel spake I a word with any of the tribes of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people Israel, saying, Why build ye not me an house of cedar?

8 Now therefore so shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus saith the Lord of hosts, I took thee from the sheepcote, from following the sheep, to be ruler over my people, over Israel:

9 And I was with thee whithersoever thou wentest, and have cut off all thine enemies out of thy sight, and have made thee a great name, like unto the name of the great men that are in the earth.

10 Moreover I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own, and move no more; neither shall the children of wickedness afflict them any more, as beforetime,

11 And as since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel, and have caused thee to rest from all thine enemies. Also the Lord telleth thee that he will make thee an house.

12 And when thy days be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom.

13 He shall build an house for my name, and I will stablish the throne of his kingdom for ever.

14 I will be his father, and he shall be my son. If he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men:

15 But my mercy shall not depart away from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before thee.

16 And thine house and thy kingdom shall be established for ever before thee: thy throne shall be established for ever.

17 According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak unto David.

18 Then went king David in, and sat before the Lord, and he said, Who am I, O Lord God? and what is my house, that thou hast brought me hitherto?

19 And this was yet a small thing in thy sight, O Lord God; but thou hast spoken also of thy servant's house for a great while to come. And is this the manner of man, O Lord God?

20 And what can David say more unto thee? for thou, Lord God, knowest thy servant.

21 For thy word's sake, and according to thine own heart, hast thou done all these great things, to make thy servant know them.

22 Wherefore thou art great, O Lord God: for there is none like thee, neither is there any God beside thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.

23 And what one nation in the earth is like thy people, even like Israel, whom God went to redeem for a people to himself, and to make him a name, and to do for you great things and terrible, for thy land, before thy people, which thou redeemedst to thee from Egypt, from the nations and their gods?

24 For thou hast confirmed to thyself thy people Israel to be a people unto thee for ever: and thou, Lord, art become their God.

25 And now, O Lord God, the word that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant, and concerning his house, establish it for ever, and do as thou hast said.

26 And let thy name be magnified for ever, saying, The Lord of hosts is the God over Israel: and let the house of thy servant David be established before thee.

27 For thou, O Lord of hosts, God of Israel, hast revealed to thy servant, saying, I will build thee an house: therefore hath thy servant found in his heart to pray this prayer unto thee.

28 And now, O Lord God, thou art that God, and thy words be true, and thou hast promised this goodness unto thy servant:

29 Therefore now let it please thee to bless the house of thy servant, that it may continue for ever before thee: for thou, O Lord God, hast spoken it: and with thy blessing let the house of thy servant be blessed for ever.
