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.”

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.”

David Plans to Build a Temple

7 When King David lived in his house (palace) and the Lord had given him rest from all his surrounding enemies, 2 the king said to Nathan the prophet, “See now, I dwell in a house of cedar, but the ark of God dwells within tent curtains.” 3 And Nathan said to the king, “Go, do everything that is in your heart, for the Lord is with you.”

4 But it happened that night that the word of the Lord came to Nathan, saying, 5 “Go and tell My servant David, ‘Thus says the Lord, “Should you be the one to build Me a house in which to dwell? 6 For I have not dwelt in a house since the day I brought the sons (descendants) of Israel up from Egypt, even to this day; but I have been moving about in a tent, even in a tabernacle. 7 Wherever I have gone with all the Israelites, did I speak a word to any from the tribes of Israel, whom I commanded to shepherd My people Israel, asking, ‘Why have you not built Me a house of cedar?’”’

God’s Covenant with David

8 So now, say this to My servant David, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts, “I took you from the pasture, from following the sheep, to be ruler over My people Israel. 9 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 great name, like that of the great men of the earth. 10 I will appoint a place for My people Israel and will plant them, so that they may live in a place of their own and not be disturbed again. The [a]wicked will not afflict them again, as formerly, 11 even from the day that I appointed judges over My people Israel; and I will give you rest from all your enemies. The Lord also declares to you that He will make a house (royal dynasty) for you. 12 When your days are fulfilled and you lie down [in death] with your fathers (ancestors), I will raise up your descendant after you, who shall be born to you, and I will establish his kingdom. 13 He [is the one who] shall build a house for My [b]Name and My Presence, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever. 14 I will be his Father, and he shall be My son. When he commits iniquity (wrongdoing), I will discipline him with the rod of men and with the strokes of the sons of man. 15 But My lovingkindness and mercy will not depart from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I removed from before you. 16 Your house (royal dynasty) and your kingdom will endure forever before Me; your throne will be established forever.”’” 17 Nathan spoke to David in accordance with all these words and all of this vision.

David’s Prayer

18 Then King David went in and sat [in prayer] before the Lord, and said, “Who am I, O Lord [c]God, and what is my house (family), that You have brought me this far? 19 Yet this was very insignificant in Your eyes, O Lord God, for You have spoken also of Your servant’s house (royal dynasty) in the distant future. And this is the law and custom of man, O Lord God. 20 What more can David say to You? For You know (acknowledge, choose) Your servant, O Lord God. 21 Because of Your word (promise), and in accordance with Your own heart, You have done all these great and astounding things to let Your servant know (understand). 22 Therefore You are great, O Lord God; for there is none like You, and there is no God besides You, according to all that we have heard with our ears. 23 What one nation on earth is like Your people Israel, whom God went to redeem for Himself as a people and to make a name for Himself, and to do great and awesome things for Yourself and for Your land, before Your people whom You have redeemed for Yourself from Egypt, from nations and their gods? 24 You established for Yourself Your people Israel as Your people forever, and You, O Lord, have become their God. 25 Now, O Lord God, confirm forever the word [of the covenant] that You have spoken in regard to Your servant and his house (royal dynasty); and do just as You have spoken, 26 so that Your Name may be magnified forever, saying, ‘The Lord of hosts (armies) is God over Israel;’ and may the house (royal dynasty) of Your servant David be established [d]before You. 27 For You, O Lord of hosts, God of Israel, have [e]revealed this to Your servant, saying, ‘I will build you a house (royal dynasty).’ For that reason Your servant has found [f]courage to pray this prayer to You. 28 And now, O Lord God, You are God, and Your words are truth, and You have promised this good thing to Your servant. 29 Therefore now, may it please You to bless the house (royal dynasty) of Your servant, so that it may continue forever before You; for You, O Lord God, have spoken it, and with Your blessing may the house of Your servant be blessed forever.”
