Chapter 17 God's Promise to David 1After David was settled in his palace, he said to Nathan the prophet, “Here I am, living in a palace of cedar, while the ark of the covenant of the LORD is under a tent.”2Nathan replied to David, “Whatever you have in mind, do it, for God is with you.” 3That night the word of God came to Nathan, saying: 4“Go and tell my servant David, ‘This is what the LORD says: You are not the one to build me a house to dwell in.5I have not dwelt in a house from the day I brought Israel up out of Egypt to this day. I have moved from one tent site to another, from one dwelling place to another.6Wherever I have moved with all the Israelites, did I ever say to any of their leadersTraditionally judges; also in verse 10 whom I commanded to shepherd my people, “Why have you not built me a house of cedar?”’ “‘I declare to you that the LORD will build a house for you:11When your days are over and you go to be with your fathers, I will raise up your offspring to succeed you, one of your own sons, and I will establish his kingdom.12He is the one who will build a house for me, and I will establish his throne forever.13I will be his father, and he will be my son. I will never take my love away from him, as I took it away from your predecessor.14I will set him over my house and my kingdom forever; his throne will be established forever.’” 15Nathan reported to David all the words of this entire revelation.
