17:1 Now
it
came
to
passe,
as
Dauid
sate
in
his
house,
that
Dauid
sayde
to
Nathan
the
Prophet,
Loe,
I
dwell
in
an
house
of
Cedars,
but
the
Arke
of
the
Couenant
of
the
Lord
remaineth
vnder
curtaines.
17:2 Then
Nathan
sayd
vnto
Dauid,
Doe
all
that
is
in
thine
heart,
for
God
is
with
thee.
17:3 And
it
came
to
passe
the
same
night,
that
the
word
of
God
came
to
Nathan,
saying,
17:4 Goe
and
tell
Dauid
my
seruant,
Thus
saith
the
Lord,
Thou
shalt
not
build
me
an
house
to
dwell
in.
17:5 For
I
haue
not
dwelt
in
a
house
since
the
day
that
I
brought
vp
Israel,
vnto
this
day,
but
haue
gone
from
tent
to
tent,
and
from
one
Tabernacle
to
another.
17:6 Wheresoeuer
I
haue
walked
with
all
Israel,
spake
I
a
word
to
any
of
the
Iudges
of
Israel
(whom
I
commanded
to
feed
my
people)
saying,
Why
haue
ye
not
built
me
an
house
of
Cedars
17:7 Now
therefore
thus
shalt
thou
say
vnto
my
seruant
Dauid,
Thus
saith
the
Lord
of
hosts,
I
tooke
thee
from
the
Sheep-coat,
euen
from
folowing
the
sheep,
that
thou
shouldest
be
ruler
ouer
my
people
Israel:
17:8 And
I
haue
bene
with
thee
whithersoeuer
thou
hast
walked,
and
haue
cut
off
all
thine
enemies
from
before
thee,
and
haue
made
thee
a
name,
like
the
name
of
the
great
men
that
are
in
the
earth.
17:9 Also
I
will
ordeine
a
place
for
my
people
Israel,
and
will
plant
them,
and
they
shall
dwell
in
their
place,
and
shall
be
moued
no
more:
neither
shal
the
children
of
wickednesse
waste
them
any
more
(as
at
the
beginning,
17:10 And
since
the
time
that
I
commanded
Iudges
to
bee
ouer
my
people
Israel.)
Moreouer,
I
will
subdue
all
thine
enemies.
Furthermore
I
tel
thee,
that
the
Lord
will
build
thee
an
house.
17:11 And
it
shall
come
to
passe,
when
thy
dayes
be
expired,
that
thou
must
go
to
be
with
thy
fathers,
that
I
will
raise
vp
thy
seed
after
thee,
which
shall
bee
of
thy
sonnes,
and
I
wil
stablish
his
kingdome.
17:12 He
shall
build
me
an
house,
and
I
will
stablish
his
throne
for
euer.
17:13 I
will
be
his
father,
and
he
shall
be
my
sonne,
and
I
will
not
take
my
mercie
away
from
him,
as
I
tooke
it
from
him
that
was
before
thee.
17:14 But
I
will
settle
him
in
mine
house,
and
in
my
kingdom
for
euer,
and
his
throne
shall
bee
established
for
euermore.
17:15 According
to
all
these
words,
and
according
to
all
this
vision,
so
did
Nathan
speake
vnto
Dauid.
17:16 And
Dauid
the
king
came,
and
sate
before
the
Lord,
and
said,
Who
am
I,
O
Lord
God,
and
what
is
mine
house,
that
thou
hast
brought
mee
hitherto
17:17 And
yet
this
was
a
small
thing
in
thine
eyes,
O
God:
for
thou
hast
also
spoken
of
thy
seruants
house,
for
a
great
while
to
come,
and
hast
regarded
mee
according
to
the
estate
of
a
man
of
high
degree,
O
Lord
God.
17:18 What
can
Dauid
speake
more
to
thee
for
the
honour
of
thy
seruant
for
thou
knowest
thy
seruant.
17:19 O
Lord,
for
thy
seruants
sake,
and
according
to
thine
owne
heart,
hast
thou
done
all
this
greatnesse
in
making
knowen
all
these
great
things.
17:20 O
Lord,
there
is
none
like
thee
neither
is
there
any
God
besides
thee,
according
to
all
that
we
haue
heard
with
our
eares.
17:21 And
what
one
nation
in
the
earth
is
like
thy
people
Israel,
whome
God
went
to
redeeme
to
be
his
owne
people,
to
make
thee
a
name
of
greatnesse
and
terriblenesse,
by
driuing
out
nations
from
before
thy
people
whom
thou
hast
redeemed
out
of
Egypt
17:22 For
thy
people
Israel
didst
thou
make
thine
owne
people
for
euer,
and
thou,
Lord,
becamest
their
God.
17:23 Therefore
now
Lord,
let
the
thing
that
thou
hast
spoken
concerning
thy
seruant,
and
concerning
his
house,
be
established
for
euer,
and
doe
as
thou
hast
said.
17:24 Let
it
euen
bee
established,
that
thy
name
may
bee
magnified
for
euer,
saying,
The
Lord
of
hosts
is
the
God
of
Israel,
euen
a
God
to
Israel:
and
let
the
house
of
Dauid
thy
seruant
be
established
before
thee.
17:25 For
thou,
O
my
God,
hast
tolde
thy
seruant
that
thou
wilt
build
him
an
house:
therefore
thy
seruant
hath
found
in
his
heart
to
pray
before
thee.
17:26 And
now,
Lord
(thou
art
God,
and
hast
promised
this
goodnesse
vnto
thy
seruant.)
17:27 Now
therefore
let
it
please
thee
to
blesse
the
house
of
thy
seruant,
that
it
may
bee
before
thee
for
euer:
for
thou
blessest,
O
Lord,
and
it
shalbe
blessed
for
euer.
