International Standard Version

1After David had settled into his palace, he said to Nathan the prophet, “Here I am, living in a house of cedar, while the ark of the covenant of the LORD is under a tent.”

1After David had settled down to live in his palace, he spoke with the prophet Nathan. "Look, here I am living in this cedar palace, but the ark of the LORD's covenant remains surrounded by curtains!"

2And Nathan replied to David, “Do all that is in your heart, for God is with you.”

2"Do everything you have in mind," Nathan replied to David, "because God is with you."

3But that night the word of God came to Nathan, saying,

3But later that same night, this message came to Nathan from God:

4“Go and tell My servant David that this is what the LORD says: You are not the one to build Me a house in which to dwell.

4"Go tell David, my servant, 'This is what the Lord says: "'"You won't be building a house for me to inhabit, will you?

5For I have not dwelt in a house from the day I brought Israel up out of Egypt until this day, but I have moved from tent to tent and dwelling to dwelling.

5After all, I haven't lived in a house from the day I brought out Israel until today. Instead, I've lived from tent to tent and from one place to another.

6In all My journeys with all the Israelites, have I ever asked any of the leaders I appointed to shepherd My people, ‘Why haven’t you built Me a house of cedar?’

6Wherever I've moved within all of Israel, did I ever ask even one judge of Israel whom I commanded to shepherd my people, 'Why haven't you built me a cedar house?'"'

7Now then, you are to tell My servant David that this is what the LORD of Hosts says: I took you from the pasture, from following the flock, to be the ruler over My people Israel.

7"Now therefore this is what you are to tell my servant David: 'This is what the LORD of the Heavenly Armies says: "I took you from the pasture myself—from tending sheep—to become Commander-in-Chief over my people Israel.

8I have been with you wherever you have gone, and I have cut off all your enemies from before you. Now I will make for you a name like the greatest in the land.

8"'"Furthermore, I have remained with you everywhere you have gone, annihilating all your enemies right in front of you. I will make your reputation great, like the reputation of the great ones who have lived on earth.

9And I will provide a place for My people Israel and will plant them so that they may dwell in a place of their own and be disturbed no more. No longer will the sons of wickedness oppress them as they did at the beginning

9I will establish a homeland for my people Israel, planting them in a secure location where they will never be disturbed anymore. Wicked people will not oppress them as happened in the past,

10and have done since the day I appointed judges over My people Israel. And I will subdue all your enemies. Moreover, I declare to you that the LORD will build a house for you.

10during the time I had commanded judges to administer my people Israel. I'll also grant you deliverance from all your enemies. "'"I'm also announcing to you that the LORD also will himself build a house for you.

11And when your days are fulfilled and you go to be with your fathers, I will raise up your descendant after you, one of your own sons, and I will establish his kingdom.

11It will come about that when your life is complete and you go to join your ancestors, I will raise up your offspring after you, who is related to one of your sons, and I will fortify his kingdom.

12He will build a house for Me, and I will establish his throne forever.

12He will build a temple dedicated to me, and I will make his throne last forever.

13I will be his Father, and he will be My son. And I will never remove My loving devotion from him as I removed it from your predecessor.

13I will be a father to him and he will be a son to me. I will never remove my gracious love from him as I did from the one who preceded you.

14But I will set him over My house and My kingdom forever, and his throne will be established forever.”

14I will confirm him in my Temple and in my kingdom forever, and his throne will remain secure forever."'"

15So Nathan relayed to David all the words of this entire vision.

15Using precisely these words, Nathan communicated this complete oracle to David.

16Then King David went in, sat before the LORD, and said, “Who am I, O LORD God, and what is my house, that You have brought me this far?

16Then King David went in, sat down in the presence of the LORD, and said: "Who am I, LORD God, and what is my household, since you have brought me to this?

17And as if this was a small thing in Your eyes, O God, You have spoken about the future of the house of Your servant and have regarded me as a man of great distinction, O LORD God.

17Furthermore, this is a small thing to you, God, and yet you have spoken concerning your servant's household for a great while to come, and you have seen in me the fulfillment of man's purpose, LORD God.

18What more can David say to You for so honoring Your servant? For You know Your servant,

18"What more can David say to you about how you are honoring your servant, and you surely know your servant.

19O LORD. For the sake of Your servant and according to Your own heart, You have accomplished this great thing and revealed all Your greatness.

19LORD, for the sake of your servant, and consistent with your heart, you have done all of these great things and are now making these great things known.

20O LORD, there is none like You, and there is no God but You, according to everything we have heard with our own ears.

20"LORD, there is no one like you, and we have heard from no god other than you.

21And who is like Your people Israel—the one nation on earth whom God went out to redeem as a people for Himself? You made a name for Yourself through great and awesome wonders by driving out nations from before Your people, whom You redeemed from Egypt.

21What other one nation on the earth is like your people Israel, God, which you have redeemed from slavery to become your own people, making a great name for yourself when you redeemed your people from Egypt. You did awesome miraculous deeds, driving out nations that stood in their way.

22For You have made Your people Israel Your very own forever, and You, O LORD, have become their God.

22You took your people Israel to be your very own people forever, and you, LORD, have become their God.

23And now, O LORD, let the word You have spoken concerning Your servant and his house be established forever. Do as You have promised,

23"And now, LORD, let what you have spoken concerning your servant and his household be done forever—and let it be done just as you've promised.

24so that Your name will be established and magnified forever when it is said, ‘The LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, is God over Israel.’ And may the house of Your servant David be established before You.

24May your name be made great and honored forever: The LORD of the Heavenly Armies, the God of Israel, is God for Israel, and may the family of David your servant stand before you forever.

25For You, my God, have revealed to Your servant that You will build a house for him. Therefore Your servant has found the courage to pray before You.

25"Because of you, my God, I have been bold to pray to you, as you have told your servant that you will build him a dynasty.

26And now, O LORD, You are God! And You have promised this goodness to Your servant.

26And now, LORD, you are God, and you have promised all of these good things to your servant.

27So now You have been pleased to bless the house of Your servant, that it may continue forever before You. For You, O LORD, have blessed it, and it will be blessed forever.”

27Furthermore, it has pleased you to bless the dynasty of your servant, so that it will continue in place forever in your presence, because when you, LORD, grant a blessing, it is an eternal blessing."
