Whereas H3588 I have not dwelled H3427 in any house H1004 since the time H3117 that I brought H5927 up the children H1121 of Israel H3478 out of Egypt, H4714 even to this H2088 day, H3117 but have walked H1980 in a tent H168 and in a tabernacle. H4908

In all H3605 the places wherein H834 I have walked H1980 with all H3605 the children H1121 of Israel H3478 spoke H1696 I a word H1697 with any H259 of the tribes H7626 of Israel, H3478 whom H834 I commanded H6680 to feed H7462 my people H5971 Israel, H3478 saying, H559 Why H4100 build H1129 you not me an house H1004 of cedar? H730

Since H4480 the day H3117 that I brought H3318 forth H3318 my people H5971 Israel H3478 out of Egypt, H4714 I chose H977 no H3808 city H5892 out of all H3605 the tribes H7626 of Israel H3478 to build H1129 an house, H1004 that my name H8034 might be therein; H8033 but I chose H977 David H1732 to be over H5921 my people H5971 Israel. H3478

An altar H4196 of earth H127 you shall make H6213 to me, and shall sacrifice H2076 thereon H5921 your burnt H5930 offerings, and your peace H8002 offerings, your sheep, H6629 and your oxen: H1241 in all H3605 places H4725 where H834 I record H2142 my name H8034 I will come H935 to you, and I will bless H1288 you.

Beware H8104 of him, and obey H8085 his voice, H6963 provoke H4843 him not; for he will not pardon H5375 your transgressions: H6588 for my name H8034 is in him.

But to the place H4725 which H834 the LORD H3068 your God H430 shall choose H977 out of all H3605 your tribes H7626 to put H7760 his name H8034 there, H8033 even to his habitation H7933 shall you seek, H1875 and thither H8033 you shall come: H935

Then there shall be a place H4725 which H834 the LORD H3068 your God H430 shall choose H977 to cause his name H8034 to dwell H7931 there; H8033 thither H8033 shall you bring H935 all H3605 that I command H6680 you; your burnt H5930 offerings, and your sacrifices, H2077 your tithes, H4643 and the heave H8641 offering H8641 of your hand, H3027 and all H3605 your choice H4005 vows H5088 which H834 you vow H5087 to the LORD: H3068

O Lord, H136 hear; H8085 O Lord, H136 forgive; H5545 O Lord, H136 listen H7181 and do; H6213 defer H309 not, for your own sake, H4616 O my God: H430 for your city H5892 and your people H5971 are called H7121 by your name. H8034

And Samuel H8050 said H559 to all H3605 the people, H5971 See H7200 you him whom H834 the LORD H3068 has chosen, H977 that there is none H369 like H3644 him among all H3605 the people? H5971 And all H3605 the people H5971 shouted, H7321 and said, H559 God save H2421 the king. H4428

And Samuel H8050 said H559 to Saul, H7586 You have done foolishly: H5528 you have not kept H8104 the commandment H4687 of the LORD H3068 your God, H430 which H834 he commanded H6680 you: for now H6258 would the LORD H3068 have established H3559 your kingdom H4467 on Israel H3478 for ever. H5769

But now H6258 your kingdom H4467 shall not continue: H6965 the LORD H3068 has sought H1245 him a man H376 after his own heart, H3824 and the LORD H3068 has commanded H6680 him to be captain H5057 over H5921 his people, H5971 because H3588 you have not kept H8104 that which H834 the LORD H3068 commanded H6680 you.

For rebellion H4805 is as the sin H2403 of witchcraft, H7081 and stubbornness H6484 is as iniquity H205 and idolatry. H8655 Because H3282 you have rejected H3988 the word H1697 of the LORD, H3068 he has also rejected H3988 you from being king. H4428

But my mercy H2617 shall not depart H5493 away from him, as I took H5493 it from Saul, H7586 whom H834 I put H5493 away H5493 before H6440 you.

And your house H1004 and your kingdom H4467 shall be established H539 for ever H5769 before H6440 you: your throne H3678 shall be established H3559 for ever. H5769
