Reading
2 Samuel 7:1–29
1Now
when the king lived in his house and the Lord had given him rest from
all his surrounding enemies, 2the king said to Nathan the
prophet, “See now, I dwell in a house of cedar, but the ark of God
dwells in a tent.” 3And Nathan said to the king, “Go,
do all that is in your heart, for the Lord is with you.”
4But
that same night the word of the Lord came to Nathan, 5“Go
and tell my servant David, ‘Thus says the Lord: Would you build me
a house to dwell in? 6I have not lived in a house since
the day I brought up the people of Israel from Egypt to this day, but
I have been moving about in a tent for my dwelling. 7In
all places where I have moved with all the people of Israel, did I
speak a word with any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to
shepherd my people Israel, saying, “Why have you not built me a
house of cedar?”’ 8Now, therefore, thus you shall say
to my servant David, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts, I took you from
the pasture, from following the sheep, that you should be prince over
my people Israel. 9And I have been with you wherever you
went and have cut off all your enemies from before you. And I will
make for you a great name, like the name of the great ones of the
earth. 10And I will appoint a place for my people Israel
and will plant them, so that they may dwell in their own place and be
disturbed no more. And violent men shall afflict them no more, as
formerly, 11from the time that I appointed judges over my
people Israel. And I will give you rest from all your enemies.
Moreover, the Lord declares to you that the Lord will make you a
house. 12When your days are fulfilled and you lie down
with your fathers, I will raise up your offspring after you, who
shall come from your body, and I will establish his kingdom. 13He
shall build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of
his kingdom forever. 14I will be to him a father, and he
shall be to me a son. When he commits iniquity, I will discipline him
with the rod of men, with the stripes of the sons of men, 15but
my steadfast love will not depart from him, as I took it from Saul,
whom I put away from before you. 16And your house and your
kingdom shall be made sure forever before me. Your throne shall be
established forever.’” 17In accordance with all these
words, and in accordance with all this vision, Nathan spoke to David.
18Then
King David went in and sat before the Lord and said, “Who am I, O
Lord God, and what is my house, that you have brought me thus far?
19And yet this was a small thing in your eyes, O Lord God.
You have spoken also of your servant’s house for a great while to
come, and this is instruction for mankind, O Lord God! 20And
what more can David say to you? For you know your servant, O Lord
God! 21Because of your promise, and according to your own
heart, you have brought about all this greatness, to make your
servant know it. 22Therefore 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. 23And
who is like your people Israel, the one nation on earth whom God went
to redeem to be his people, making himself a name and doing for them
great and awesome things by driving out before your people, whom you
redeemed for yourself from Egypt, a nation and its gods? 24And
you established for yourself your people Israel to be your people
forever. And you, O Lord, became their God. 25And now, O
Lord God, confirm forever the word that you have spoken concerning
your servant and concerning his house, and do as you have spoken.
26And your name will be magnified forever, saying, ‘The
Lord of hosts is God over Israel,’ and the house of your servant
David will be established before you. 27For you, O Lord of
hosts, the God of Israel, have made this revelation to your servant,
saying, ‘I will build you a house.’ Therefore your servant has
found courage to pray this prayer to you. 28And now, O
Lord God, you are God, and your words are true, and you have promised
this good thing to your servant. 29Now therefore may it
please you to bless the house of your servant, so that it may
continue forever before you. For you, O Lord God, have spoken, and
with your blessing shall the house of your servant be blessed
forever.”

From
