WEBVTT 00:00.000 --> 00:04.920 Chapter 7 And it came to pass, when the king sat in his house, 00:05.160 --> 00:09.820 and the Lord had given him rest round about from all his enemies, that the king 00:09.820 --> 00:15.700 said unto Nathan the prophet, See now, I dwell in an house of cedar, but the ark 00:15.700 --> 00:17.400 of God dwelleth within curtains. 00:17.840 --> 00:22.300 And Nathan said to the king, Go, do all that is in thine heart, 00:22.680 --> 00:23.940 for the Lord is with thee. 00:24.360 --> 00:27.520 And it came to pass that night, that the word of the Lord came unto 00:27.520 --> 00:32.780 Nathan, saying, Go and tell my servant David, Thus saith the Lord, Shalt thou 00:32.780 --> 00:34.740 build me an house for me to dwell in? 00:35.580 --> 00:39.100 Whereas I have not dwelt in any house since the time that I brought up the 00:39.100 --> 00:43.660 children of Israel out of Egypt, even to this day, but have walked in a 00:43.660 --> 00:45.220 tent and in a tabernacle. 00:45.820 --> 00:49.660 In all the places wherein I have walked with all the children of Israel, 00:49.960 --> 00:55.240 spake I a word with any of the tribes of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people 00:55.240 --> 00:59.060 Israel, saying, Why build ye not me an house of cedar? 00:59.820 --> 01:05.080 Now therefore, so shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus saith the Lord of 01:05.080 --> 01:10.660 hosts, I took thee from the sheep coat, from following the sheep, to be ruler over 01:10.660 --> 01:12.340 my people, over Israel. 01:12.980 --> 01:18.200 And I was with thee, whithersoever thou wentest, and have cut off all thine 01:18.200 --> 01:23.020 enemies out of thy sight, and have made thee a great name, like unto the name of 01:23.020 --> 01:24.820 the great men that are in the earth. 01:24.820 --> 01:30.260 Moreover, I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, 01:30.640 --> 01:34.440 that they may dwell in a place of their own, and move no more. 01:35.280 --> 01:39.800 Neither shall the children of wickedness afflict them any more, as before time, 01:40.580 --> 01:44.500 and as since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel, 01:44.980 --> 01:47.480 and have caused thee to rest from all thine enemies. 01:48.500 --> 01:52.000 Also the Lord telleth thee that he will make thee an house. 01:52.660 --> 01:56.840 And when thy days be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, 01:57.500 --> 02:02.060 I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of thy bowels, 02:02.460 --> 02:04.480 and I will establish his kingdom. 02:05.200 --> 02:10.040 He shall build an house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his 02:10.040 --> 02:10.980 kingdom for ever. 02:11.760 --> 02:15.420 I will be his father, and he shall be my son. 02:16.360 --> 02:21.700 If he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes 02:21.700 --> 02:22.800 of the children of men. 02:24.220 --> 02:29.960 But my mercy shall not depart away from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put 02:29.960 --> 02:30.960 away before thee. 02:31.600 --> 02:35.660 And thine house and thy kingdom shall be established for ever before thee. 02:36.340 --> 02:38.620 Thy throne shall be established for ever. 02:39.400 --> 02:42.940 According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did 02:42.940 --> 02:44.140 Nathan speak unto David. 02:45.320 --> 02:50.880 Then went King David in, and sat before the Lord, and he said, Who am I, 02:51.780 --> 02:52.620 O Lord God? 02:53.940 --> 02:56.820 And what is my house, that thou hast brought me hitherto? 02:58.480 --> 03:01.500 This was yet a small thing in thy sight, O Lord God. 03:02.580 --> 03:06.240 But thou hast spoken also of thy servant's house for a great while to come. 03:07.760 --> 03:10.360 And is this the manner of man, O Lord God? 03:11.880 --> 03:14.440 And what can David say more unto thee? 03:15.560 --> 03:17.740 For thou, Lord God, knowest thy servant. 03:18.960 --> 03:23.860 For thy word's sake, and according to thine own heart, hast thou done all these 03:23.860 --> 03:25.820 great things to make thy servant know them. 03:27.320 --> 03:29.340 Wherefore thou art great, O Lord God. 03:30.460 --> 03:36.040 For there is none like thee, neither is there any god beside thee, according to 03:36.040 --> 03:37.480 all that we have heard with our ears. 03:38.880 --> 03:44.280 And what one nation in the earth is like thy people, even like Israel, whom God 03:44.280 --> 03:49.220 went to redeem for a people to himself, and to make him a name, and to do for you 03:49.220 --> 03:54.380 great things and terrible for thy land before thy people, which thou redeemest to 03:54.380 --> 03:57.140 thee from Egypt, from the nations and their gods. 03:58.600 --> 04:02.100 For thou hast confirmed to thyself thy people Israel to be a people unto thee 04:02.100 --> 04:02.420 forever. 04:03.740 --> 04:06.000 And thou, Lord, art become their God. 04:07.240 --> 04:12.220 And now, O Lord God, the word that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant and 04:12.220 --> 04:15.140 concerning his house, establish it forever. 04:15.760 --> 04:17.180 And do as thou hast said. 04:18.200 --> 04:24.080 And let thy name be magnified forever, saying, The Lord of hosts is the God over 04:24.080 --> 04:24.500 Israel. 04:25.320 --> 04:28.640 And let the house of thy servant David be established before thee. 04:29.740 --> 04:35.060 For thou, O Lord of hosts, God of Israel, hast revealed to thy servant, saying, 04:35.640 --> 04:37.160 I will build thee an house. 04:38.040 --> 04:41.660 Therefore hath thy servant found in his heart to pray this prayer unto thee. 04:43.120 --> 04:48.100 And now, O Lord God, thou art that God, and thy words be true when thou hast 04:48.100 --> 04:49.700 promised this goodness unto thy servant. 04:51.120 --> 04:55.740 Therefore now let it please thee to bless the house of thy servant, that it may 04:55.740 --> 04:57.320 continue forever before thee. 04:58.020 --> 05:00.460 For thou, O Lord God, hast spoken it. 05:00.460 --> 05:05.920 And with thy blessing, let the house of thy servant be blessed forever.
