2 Samuel 7:1-3

New International Reader's Version

God’s Promise to David

7 The king moved into his palace. The Lord had given him peace and rest from all his enemies around him. ² Then the king spoke to Nathan the prophet. He said, “Here I am, living in a house that has beautiful cedar walls. But the ark of God remains in a tent.”

³ Nathan replied to the king, “Go ahead and do what you want to. The Lord is with you.”
