Thus DavidH1732 the sonH1121 of JesseH3448 reignedH4427 over all IsraelH3478.
And the timeH3117 that he reignedH4427 over IsraelH3478 was fortyH705 yearsH8141; sevenH7651 yearsH8141 reignedH4427 he in HebronH2275, and thirtyH7970 and threeH7969 years reignedH4427 he in JerusalemH3389.
And he diedH4191 in a goodH2896 old ageH7872, fullH7649 of daysH3117, richesH6239, and honourH3519: and SolomonH8010 his sonH1121 reignedH4427 in his stead.
Now the actsH1697 of DavidH1732 the kingH4428, firstH7223 and lastH314, behold, they are writtenH3789 in the bookH1697 of SamuelH8050 the seerH7200, and in the bookH1697 of NathanH5416 the prophetH5030, and in the bookH1697 of GadH1410 the seerH2374, {book: or, history: Heb. words}
With all his reignH4438 and his mightH1369, and the timesH6256 that went overH5674 him, and over IsraelH3478, and over all the kingdomsH4467 of the countriesH776.
And enquiredH1875 not of the LORDH3068: therefore he slewH4191 him, and turnedH5437 the kingdomH4410 unto DavidH1732 the sonH1121 of JesseH3448. {Jesse: Heb. Isai}
InclineH5186 your earH241, and comeH3212 unto me: hearH8085, and your soulH5315 shall liveH2421; and I will makeH3772 an everlastingH5769 covenantH1285 with you, even the sureH539 merciesH2617 of DavidH1732.
AndG1161 as concerning thatG3754 he raisedG450 himG846 upG450 fromG1537 the deadG3498, now no moreG3371 toG3195 returnG5290 toG1519 corruptionG1312, he saidG2046 on this wiseG3779+G3754, I will giveG1325 youG5213 the sureG4103 merciesG3741 of DavidG1138. {mercies: Gr. holy, or just things: which word the Septuagint in many places, uses for that which is in the Hebrew, mercies}
Then SamuelH8050 tookH3947 the hornH7161 of oilH8081, and anointedH4886 him in the midstH7130 of his brethrenH251: and the SpiritH7307 of the LORDH3068 cameH6743 upon DavidH1732 from that dayH3117 forwardH4605. So SamuelH8050 rose upH6965, and wentH3212 to RamahH7414.
Now it came to pass, as DavidH1732 satH3427 in his houseH1004, that DavidH1732 saidH559 to NathanH5416 the prophetH5030, Lo, I dwellH3427 in an houseH1004 of cedarsH730, but the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 remaineth under curtainsH3407.
Then NathanH5416 saidH559 unto DavidH1732, DoH6213 all that is in thine heartH3824; for GodH430 is with thee.
And it came to pass the same nightH3915, that the wordH1697 of GodH430 came to NathanH5416, sayingH559,
GoH3212 and tellH559 DavidH1732 my servantH5650, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Thou shalt not buildH1129 me an houseH1004 to dwell inH3427:
For I have not dwelt inH3427 an houseH1004 since the dayH3117 that I brought upH5927 IsraelH3478 unto this dayH3117; but have gone from tentH168 to tentH168, and from one tabernacleH4908 to another. {have gone: Heb. have been}
Wheresoever I have walkedH1980 with all IsraelH3478, spakeH1696 I a wordH1697 to anyH259 of the judgesH8199 of IsraelH3478, whom I commandedH6680 to feedH7462 my peopleH5971, sayingH559, Why have ye not builtH1129 me an houseH1004 of cedarsH730?
Now therefore thus shalt thou sayH559 unto my servantH5650 DavidH1732, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, I tookH3947 thee from the sheepcoteH5116, even from followingH310 the sheepH6629, that thou shouldest be rulerH5057 over my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478: {from following: Heb. from after}
And I have been with thee whithersoever thou hast walkedH1980, and have cut offH3772 all thine enemiesH341 from beforeH6440 thee, and have madeH6213 thee a nameH8034 like the nameH8034 of the great menH1419 that are in the earthH776.
Also I will ordainH7760 a placeH4725 for my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, and will plantH5193 them, and they shall dwellH7931 in their place, and shall be movedH7264 no more; neither shall the childrenH1121 of wickednessH5766 wasteH1086 them any moreH3254, as at the beginningH7223,
And since the timeH3117 that I commandedH6680 judgesH8199 to be over my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478. Moreover I will subdueH3665 all thine enemiesH341. Furthermore I tellH5046 thee that the LORDH3068 will buildH1129 thee an houseH1004.
And it shall come to pass, when thy daysH3117 be expiredH4390 that thou must goH3212 to be with thy fathersH1, that I will raise upH6965 thy seedH2233 afterH310 thee, which shall be of thy sonsH1121; and I will establishH3559 his kingdomH4438.
He shall buildH1129 me an houseH1004, and I will stablishH3559 his throneH3678 forH5704 everH5769.
I will be his fatherH1, and he shall be my sonH1121: and I will not takeH5493 my mercyH2617 awayH5493 from him, as I tookH5493 it from him that was beforeH6440 thee:
But I will settleH5975 him in mine houseH1004 and in my kingdomH4438 for everH5769: and his throneH3678 shall be establishedH3559 forH5704 evermoreH5769.
According to all these wordsH1697, and according to all this visionH2377, so did NathanH5416 speakH1696 unto DavidH1732.
And it came to pass, when the kingH4428 satH3427 in his houseH1004, and the LORDH3068 had given him restH5117 round aboutH5439 from all his enemiesH341;
That the kingH4428 saidH559 unto NathanH5416 the prophetH5030, SeeH7200 now, I dwellH3427 in an houseH1004 of cedarH730, but the arkH727 of GodH430 dwellethH3427 withinH8432 curtainsH3407.
And NathanH5416 saidH559 to the kingH4428, GoH3212, doH6213 all that is in thine heartH3824; for the LORDH3068 is with thee.
And it came to pass that nightH3915, that the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto NathanH5416, sayingH559,
GoH3212 and tellH559 my servantH5650 DavidH1732, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Shalt thou buildH1129 me an houseH1004 for me to dwell inH3427? {my servant…: Heb. to my servant, to David}
Whereas I have not dweltH3427 in any houseH1004 since the timeH3117 that I brought upH5927 the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 out of EgyptH4714, even to this dayH3117, but have walkedH1980 in a tentH168 and in a tabernacleH4908.
In all the places wherein I have walkedH1980 with all the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478 spakeH1696 I a wordH1697 with anyH259 of the tribesH7626 of IsraelH3478, whom I commandedH6680 to feedH7462 my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, sayingH559, Why buildH1129 ye not me an houseH1004 of cedarH730? {any of…: any of the judges}
Now therefore so shalt thou sayH559 unto my servantH5650 DavidH1732, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, I tookH3947 thee from the sheepcoteH5116, from followingH310 the sheepH6629, to be rulerH5057 over my peopleH5971, over IsraelH3478: {from following: Heb. from after}
And I was with thee whithersoever thou wentestH1980, and have cut offH3772 all thine enemiesH341 out of thy sightH6440, and have madeH6213 thee a greatH1419 nameH8034, like unto the nameH8034 of the greatH1419 men that are in the earthH776. {out of…: Heb. from thy face}
Moreover I will appointH7760 a placeH4725 for my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, and will plantH5193 them, that they may dwellH7931 in a place of their own, and moveH7264 no more; neither shall the childrenH1121 of wickednessH5766 afflictH6031 them any moreH3254, as beforetimeH7223,
And as since the timeH3117 that I commandedH6680 judgesH8199 to be over my peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, and have caused thee to restH5117 from all thine enemiesH341. Also the LORDH3068 tellethH5046 thee that he will makeH6213 thee an houseH1004.
And when thy daysH3117 be fulfilledH4390, and thou shalt sleepH7901 with thy fathersH1, I will set upH6965 thy seedH2233 afterH310 thee, which shall proceedH3318 out of thy bowelsH4578, and I will establishH3559 his kingdomH4467.
He shall buildH1129 an houseH1004 for my nameH8034, and I will stablishH3559 the throneH3678 of his kingdomH4467 forH5704 everH5769.
I will be his fatherH1, and he shall be my sonH1121. If he commit iniquityH5753, I will chastenH3198 him with the rodH7626 of menH582, and with the stripesH5061 of the childrenH1121 of menH120:
But my mercyH2617 shall not depart awayH5493 from him, as I tookH5493 it from SaulH7586, whom I put awayH5493 beforeH6440 thee.
And thine houseH1004 and thy kingdomH4467 shall be establishedH539 forH5704 everH5769 beforeH6440 thee: thy throneH3678 shall be establishedH3559 forH5704 everH5769.
According to all these wordsH1697, and according to all this visionH2384, so did NathanH5416 speakH1696 unto DavidH1732.
And the LORDH3068 sentH7971 NathanH5416 unto DavidH1732. And he cameH935 unto him, and saidH559 unto him, There were twoH8147 menH582 in oneH259 cityH5892; the oneH259 richH6223, and the otherH259 poorH7326.
The richH6223 man had exceedingH3966 manyH7235 flocksH6629 and herdsH1241:
But the poorH7326 man had nothing, save oneH259 littleH6996 ewe lambH3535, which he had boughtH7069 and nourished upH2421: and it grew upH1431 togetherH3162 with him, and with his childrenH1121; it did eatH398 of his own meatH6595, and drankH8354 of his own cupH3563, and layH7901 in his bosomH2436, and was unto him as a daughterH1323. {meat: Heb. morsel}
And there cameH935 a travellerH1982 unto the richH6223 manH376, and he sparedH2550 to takeH3947 of his own flockH6629 and of his own herdH1241, to dressH6213 for the wayfaring manH732 that was comeH935 unto him; but tookH3947 the poorH7326 man'sH376 lambH3535, and dressedH6213 it for the manH376 that was comeH935 to him.
And David'sH1732 angerH639 was greatlyH3966 kindledH2734 against the manH376; and he saidH559 to NathanH5416, As the LORDH3068 livethH2416, the manH376 that hath doneH6213 this thing shall surelyH1121 dieH4194: {shall…: or, is worthy to die, or, is a son of death}
And he shall restoreH7999 the lambH3535 fourfoldH706, becauseH6118 he didH6213 this thingH1697, and becauseH834 he had no pityH2550.
And NathanH5416 saidH559 to DavidH1732, Thou art the manH376. Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, I anointedH4886 thee kingH4428 over IsraelH3478, and I deliveredH5337 thee out of the handH3027 of SaulH7586;
And I gaveH5414 thee thy master'sH113 houseH1004, and thy master'sH113 wivesH802 into thy bosomH2436, and gaveH5414 thee the houseH1004 of IsraelH3478 and of JudahH3063; and if that had been too littleH4592, I would moreover have givenH3254 unto thee suchH2007 and such thingsH2007.
Wherefore hast thou despisedH959 the commandmentH1697 of the LORDH3068, to doH6213 evilH7451 in his sightH5869? thou hast killedH5221 UriahH223 the HittiteH2850 with the swordH2719, and hast takenH3947 his wifeH802 to be thy wifeH802, and hast slainH2026 him with the swordH2719 of the childrenH1121 of AmmonH5983.
Now therefore the swordH2719 shall neverH5704+H5769 departH5493 from thine houseH1004; becauseH6118 thou hast despisedH959 me, and hast takenH3947 the wifeH802 of UriahH223 the HittiteH2850 to be thy wifeH802.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, Behold, I will raise upH6965 evilH7451 against thee out of thine own houseH1004, and I will takeH3947 thy wivesH802 before thine eyesH5869, and giveH5414 them unto thy neighbourH7453, and he shall lieH7901 with thy wivesH802 in the sightH5869 of this sunH8121.
For thou didstH6213 it secretlyH5643: but I will doH6213 this thingH1697 before all IsraelH3478, and before the sunH8121.
And David'sH1732 heartH3820 smoteH5221 him afterH310 that he had numberedH5608 the peopleH5971. And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto the LORDH3068, I have sinnedH2398 greatlyH3966 in that I have doneH6213: and now, I beseech thee, O LORDH3068, take awayH5674 the iniquityH5771 of thy servantH5650; for I have done veryH3966 foolishlyH5528.
For when DavidH1732 was upH6965 in the morningH1242, the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came unto the prophetH5030 GadH1410, David'sH1732 seerH2374, sayingH559,
GoH1980 and sayH559 unto DavidH1732, Thus saithH1696 the LORDH3068, I offerH5190 thee threeH7969 things; chooseH977 thee oneH259 of them, that I may do it unto theeH6213.
So GadH1410 cameH935 to DavidH1732, and toldH5046 him, and saidH559 unto him, Shall sevenH7651 yearsH8141 of famineH7458 comeH935 unto thee in thy landH776? or wilt thou fleeH5127 threeH7969 monthsH2320 beforeH6440 thine enemiesH6862, while they pursueH7291 thee? or that there be threeH7969 days'H3117 pestilenceH1698 in thy landH776? now adviseH3045, and seeH7200 what answerH1697 I shall returnH7725 to him that sentH7971 me.
And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto GadH1410, I am in a greatH3966 straitH6887: let us fallH5307 now into the handH3027 of the LORDH3068; for his merciesH7356 are greatH7227: and let me not fallH5307 into the handH3027 of manH120. {are great: or, are many}
And the LORDH3068 spakeH1696 unto GadH1410, David'sH1732 seerH2374, sayingH559,
GoH3212 and tellH1696 DavidH1732, sayingH559, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, I offerH5186 thee threeH7969 things: chooseH977 thee oneH259 of themH2007, that I may doH6213 it unto thee. {offer: Heb. stretch out}
So GadH1410 cameH935 to DavidH1732, and saidH559 unto him, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, ChooseH6901 thee {Choose…: Heb. Take to thee}
Either threeH7969 years'H8141 famineH7458; or threeH7969 monthsH2320 to be destroyedH5595 beforeH6440 thy foesH6862, while that the swordH2719 of thine enemiesH341 overtakethH5381 thee; orH518 else threeH7969 daysH3117 the swordH2719 of the LORDH3068, even the pestilenceH1698, in the landH776, and the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068 destroyingH7843 throughout all the coastsH1366 of IsraelH3478. Now therefore adviseH7200 thyself what wordH1697 I shall bring againH7725 to him that sentH7971 me.
And DavidH1732 saidH559 unto GadH1410, I am in a greatH3966 straitH6887: let me fallH5307 now into the handH3027 of the LORDH3068; for veryH3966 greatH7227 are his merciesH7356: but let me not fallH5307 into the handH3027 of manH120. {very great: or, very many}
My timesH6256 are in thy handH3027: deliverH5337 me from the handH3027 of mine enemiesH341, and from them that persecuteH7291 me.
Why, seeing timesH6256 are not hiddenH6845 from the AlmightyH7706, do they that knowH3045 him not seeH2372 his daysH3117?
Nevertheless they shall be his servantsH5650; that they may knowH3045 my serviceH5656, and the serviceH5656 of the kingdomsH4467 of the countriesH776.
And the fearH6343 of the LORDH3068 fell upon all the kingdomsH4467 of the landsH776 that were round aboutH5439 JudahH3063, so that they made no warH3898 against JehoshaphatH3092. {fell: Heb. was}
And the fearH6343 of GodH430 was on all the kingdomsH4467 of those countriesH776, when they had heardH8085 that the LORDH3068 foughtH3898 against the enemiesH341 of IsraelH3478.
