Divrei HaYamim I 17:7-15 דברי הימים א י״ז:ז׳-ט״ו

Now therefore thus shalt thou say to my servant David, Thus says the Lord of hosts, I took thee from the pasture, from following the sheep, that thou shouldst be ruler over my people Yisra᾽el:

and I have been with thee wherever thou hast walked, and have cut off all thy enemies from before thee, and have made thee a name like the name of the great men who are on the earth.

And I will ordain a place for my people Yisra᾽el, and I will plant them, and they shall dwell in their place, and shall be moved no more; nor shall the children of wickedness waste them any more, as at the beginning,

and ever since the time when I commanded judges to be over my people Yisra᾽el. And I will subdue all thy enemies. Moreover I declare to thee that the Lord will build thee a house.

And it shall come to pass, when thy days are fulfilled when thou must go to be with thy fathers, that I will raise up thy seed after thee, who shall be of thy sons; and I will establish his kingdom.

He shall build me a house, and I will establish his throne for ever.

I will be his father, and he will be my son: and I will not take my steadfast love away from him, as I took it from the one who was before thee:

but I will settle him in my house and in my kingdom forever: and his throne shall be established for evermore.

According to all these words, and according to all this vision, did Natan speak to David.
