That the king H4428 said H559 to Nathan H5416 the prophet, H5030 See H7200 now, H4994 I dwell H3427 in an house H1004 of cedar, H730 but the ark H727 of God H430 dwells H3427 within H8432 curtains. H3407

And Nathan H5416 said H559 to the king, H4428 Go, H3212 do H6213 all H3605 that is in your heart; H3824 for the LORD H3068 is with you.

You know H3045 how that David H1732 my father H1 could H3201 not build H1129 an house H1004 to the name H8034 of the LORD H3068 his God H430 for the wars H4421 which H834 were about H5437 him on every H5437 side, until H5704 the LORD H3068 put H5414 them under H8478 the soles H3709 of his feet. H7272

And it was in the heart H3824 of David H1732 my father H1 to build H1129 an house H1004 for the name H8034 of the LORD H3068 God H430 of Israel. H3478

Now it came H1961 to pass, as David H1732 sat H3427 in his house, H1004 that David H1732 said H559 to Nathan H5416 the prophet, H5030 See, H2009 I dwell H3427 in an house H1004 of cedars, H730 but the ark H727 of the covenant H1285 of the LORD H3068 remains under H8478 curtains. H3407

And David H1732 said H559 to Solomon, H8010 My son, H1121 as for me, it was in my mind H3824 to build H1129 an house H1004 to the name H8034 of the LORD H3068 my God: H430

Then David H1732 the king H4428 stood H6965 up on his feet, H7272 and said, H559 Hear H8085 me, my brothers, H251 and my people: H5971 As for me, I had in my heart H3824 to build H1129 an house H1004 of rest H4496 for the ark H727 of the covenant H1285 of the LORD, H3068 and for the footstool H1916 H7272 of our God, H430 and had made ready H3559 for the building: H1129

However, the LORD H3068 God H430 of Israel H3478 chose H977 me before all H3605 the house H1004 of my father H25 to be king H4428 over H5921 Israel H3478 for ever: H5769 for he has chosen H977 Judah H3063 to be the ruler; H5057 and of the house H1004 of Judah, H3063 the house H1004 of my father; H25 and among the sons H1121 of my father H25 he liked H7521 me to make me king H4427 over H5921 all H3605 Israel: H3478
