So David [01732] brought [05493] not the ark [0727] home to himself to the city [05892] of David [01732], but carried it aside [05186] into the house [01004] of Obed–edom [05654] the Gittite [01663].brought: Heb. removed

And all the people [05971] departed [03212] every man [0376] to his house [01004]: and David [01732] returned [05437] to bless [01288] his house [01004].
Now it came to pass, as David [01732] sat [03427] in his house [01004], that David [01732] said [0559] to Nathan [05416] the prophet [05030], Lo, I dwell [03427] in an house [01004] of cedars [0730], but the ark [0727] of the covenant [01285] of the Lord [03068] remaineth under curtains [03407].
Go [03212] and tell [0559] David [01732] my servant [05650], Thus saith [0559] the Lord [03068], Thou shalt not build [01129] me an house [01004] to dwell in [03427]:
For I have not dwelt in [03427] an house [01004] since the day [03117] that I brought up [05927] Israel [03478] unto this day [03117]; but have gone from tent [0168] to tent [0168], and from one tabernacle [04908] to another.have gone: Heb. have been
Wheresoever I have walked [01980] with all Israel [03478], spake [01696] I a word [01697] to any [0259] of the judges [08199] of Israel [03478], whom I commanded [06680] to feed [07462] my people [05971], saying [0559], Why have ye not built [01129] me an house [01004] of cedars [0730]?
And since the time [03117] that I commanded [06680] judges [08199] to be over my people [05971] Israel [03478]. Moreover I will subdue [03665] all thine enemies [0341]. Furthermore I tell [05046] thee that the Lord [03068] will build [01129] thee an house [01004].
He shall build [01129] me an house [01004], and I will stablish [03559] his throne [03678] for [05704] ever [05769].
But I will settle [05975] him in mine house [01004] and in my kingdom [04438] for ever [05769]: and his throne [03678] shall be established [03559] for [05704] evermore [05769].
And David [01732] the king [04428] came [0935] and sat [03427] before [06440] the Lord [03068], and said [0559], Who am I, O Lord [03068] God [0430], and what is mine house [01004], that thou hast brought [0935] me hitherto [01988]?
And yet this was a small thing [06994] in thine eyes [05869], O God [0430]; for thou hast also spoken [01696] of thy servant's [05650] house [01004] for a great while to come [07350], and hast regarded [07200] me according to the estate [08448] of a man [0120] of high degree [04609], O Lord [03068] God [0430].
Therefore now, Lord [03068], let the thing [01697] that thou hast spoken [01696] concerning thy servant [05650] and concerning his house [01004] be established [0539] for [05704] ever [05769], and do [06213] as thou hast said [01696].
Let it even be established [0539], that thy name [08034] may be magnified [01431] for [05704] ever [05769], saying [0559], The Lord [03068] of hosts [06635] is the God [0430] of Israel [03478], even a God [0430] to Israel [03478]: and let the house [01004] of David [01732] thy servant [05650] be established [03559] before [06440] thee.
For thou, O my God [0430], hast told [0241] [01540] thy servant [05650] that thou wilt build [01129] him an house [01004]: therefore thy servant [05650] hath found [04672] in his heart to pray [06419] before [06440] thee.hast…: Heb. hast revealed the ear of thy servant
Now therefore let it please [02974] thee to bless [01288] the house [01004] of thy servant [05650], that it may be before [06440] thee for ever [05769]: for thou blessest [01288], O Lord [03068], and it shall be blessed [01288] for ever [05769].let…: or, it hath pleased thee
And David [01732] said [0559] unto God [0430], Is it not I that commanded [0559] the people [05971] to be numbered [04487]? even I it is that have sinned [02398] and done evil [07489] indeed [07489]; but as for these sheep [06629], what have they done [06213]? let thine hand [03027], I pray thee, O Lord [03068] my God [0430], be on me, and on my father's [01] house [01004]; but not on thy people [05971], that they should be plagued [04046].
Then David [01732] said [0559], This is the house [01004] of the Lord [03068] God [0430], and this is the altar [04196] of the burnt offering [05930] for Israel [03478].
And David [01732] commanded [0559] to gather together [03664] the strangers [01616] that were in the land [0776] of Israel [03478]; and he set [05975] masons [02672] to hew [02672] wrought [01496] stones [068] to build [01129] the house [01004] of God [0430].
And David [01732] said [0559], Solomon [08010] my son [01121] is young [05288] and tender [07390], and the house [01004] that is to be builded [01129] for the Lord [03068] must be exceeding [04605] magnifical [01431], of fame [08034] and of glory [08597] throughout all countries [0776]: I will therefore now make preparation [03559] for it. So David [01732] prepared [03559] abundantly [07230] before [06440] his death [04194].
Then he called [07121] for Solomon [08010] his son [01121], and charged [06680] him to build [01129] an house [01004] for the Lord [03068] God [0430] of Israel [03478].
And David [01732] said [0559] to Solomon [08010], My son [01121], as for me, it was in my mind [03824] to build [01129] an house [01004] unto the name [08034] of the Lord [03068] my God [0430]:
But the word [01697] of the Lord [03068] came to me, saying [0559], Thou hast shed [08210] blood [01818] abundantly [07230], and hast made [06213] great [01419] wars [04421]: thou shalt not build [01129] an house [01004] unto my name [08034], because thou hast shed [08210] much [07227] blood [01818] upon the earth [0776] in my sight [06440].
He shall build [01129] an house [01004] for my name [08034]; and he shall be my son [01121], and I will be his father [01]; and I will establish [03559] the throne [03678] of his kingdom [04438] over Israel [03478] for [05704] ever [05769].
Now, my son [01121], the Lord [03068] be with thee; and prosper [06743] thou, and build [01129] the house [01004] of the Lord [03068] thy God [0430], as he hath said [01696] of thee.
Now, behold, in my trouble [06040] I have prepared [03559] for the house [01004] of the Lord [03068] an hundred [03967] thousand [0505] talents [03603] of gold [02091], and a thousand [0505] thousand [0505] talents [03603] of silver [03701]; and of brass [05178] and iron [01270] without weight [04948]; for it is in abundance [07230]: timber [06086] also and stone [068] have I prepared [03559]; and thou mayest add [03254] thereto.trouble: or, poverty
Now set [05414] your heart [03824] and your soul [05315] to seek [01875] the Lord [03068] your God [0430]; arise [06965] therefore, and build [01129] ye the sanctuary [04720] of the Lord [03068] God [0430], to bring [0935] the ark [0727] of the covenant [01285] of the Lord [03068], and the holy [06944] vessels [03627] of God [0430], into the house [01004] that is to be built [01129] to the name [08034] of the Lord [03068].
Of which [0428], twenty [06242] and four [0702] thousand [0505] were to set forward [05329] the work [04399] of the house [01004] of the Lord [03068]; and six [08337] thousand [0505] were officers [07860] and judges [08199]:set…: or, oversee
And Jahath [03189] was the chief [07218], and Zizah [02125] the second [08145]: but Jeush [03266] and Beriah [01283] had not many [07235] sons [01121]; therefore they were in one [0259] reckoning [06486], according to their father's [01] house [01004].had…: Heb. did not multiply sons
These were the sons [01121] of Levi [03878] after the house [01004] of their fathers [01]; even the chief [07218] of the fathers [01], as they were counted [06485] by number [04557] of names [08034] by their polls [01538], that did [06213] the work [04399] for the service [05656] of the house [01004] of the Lord [03068], from the age [01121] of twenty [06242] years [08141] and upward [04605].
Because their office [04612] was to wait [03027] on the sons [01121] of Aaron [0175] for the service [05656] of the house [01004] of the Lord [03068], in the courts [02691], and in the chambers [03957], and in the purifying [02893] of all holy things [06944], and the work [04639] of the service [05656] of the house [01004] of God [0430];their…: Heb. their station was at the hand of the sons of Aaron

Then David [01732] the king [04428] stood up [06965] upon his feet [07272], and said [0559], Hear [08085] me, my brethren [0251], and my people [05971]: As for me, I had in mine heart [03824] to build [01129] an house [01004] of rest [04496] for the ark [0727] of the covenant [01285] of the Lord [03068], and for the footstool [07272] [01916] of our God [0430], and had made ready [03559] for the building [01129]:
But God [0430] said [0559] unto me, Thou shalt not build [01129] an house [01004] for my name [08034], because thou hast been a man [0376] of war [04421], and hast shed [08210] blood [01818].blood: Heb. bloods

And David [01732] said [0559] to Solomon [08010] his son [01121], Be strong [02388] and of good courage [0553], and do [06213] it: fear [03372] not, nor be dismayed [02865]: for the Lord [03068] God [0430], even my God [0430], will be with thee; he will not fail [07503] thee, nor forsake [05800] thee, until thou hast finished [03615] all the work [04399] for the service [05656] of the house [01004] of the Lord [03068].
And, behold, the courses [04256] of the priests [03548] and the Levites [03881], even they shall be with thee for all the service [05656] of the house [01004] of God [0430]: and there shall be with thee for all manner of workmanship [04399] every willing [05081] skilful man [02451], for any manner of service [05656]: also the princes [08269] and all the people [05971] will be wholly at thy commandment [01697].

Moreover, because I have set my affection [07521] to the house [01004] of my God [0430], I have [03426] of mine own proper good [05459], of gold [02091] and silver [03701], which I have given [05414] to the house [01004] of my God [0430], over and above [04605] all that I have prepared [03559] for the holy [06944] house [01004],
