2 Samuel 7:5-11
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 7
5
Go and say to My servant David, ‘This is what the
Lord
says: 'Should you build Me a house for My dwelling?
6
For I have not dwelt in a house since the day I brought up the sons of Israel from Egypt, even to this day; rather, I have been moving about in a tent, that is, in a dwelling place.
7
Wherever I have gone with all the sons of Israel, did I speak a word with one of the tribes of Israel, whom I commanded to shepherd My people Israel, saying, ‘Why have you not built Me a house of cedar?’?'?’
8
Now then, this is what you shall say to My servant David: ‘This is what the
Lord
of armies says: 'I Myself took you from the pasture, from following the sheep, to be leader over My people Israel.
9
And I have been with you wherever you have gone, and have eliminated all your enemies from you; I will also make a great name for you, like the names of the great men who are on the earth.
10
And I will establish a place for My people Israel, and will plant them, so that they may live in their own place and not be disturbed again, nor will malicious people oppress them anymore as previously,
11
even from the day that I appointed judges over My people Israel; and I will give you rest from all your enemies. The
Lord
also declares to you that the
Lord
will make a house for you.
King James Version
Chapter 7
5
Go and tell my servant David, Thus saith the
Lord
, Shalt thou build me an house for me to dwell in?
6
Whereas I have not dwelt in any house since the time that I brought up the children of Israel out of Egypt, even to this day, but have walked in a tent and in a tabernacle.
7
In all the places wherein I have walked with all the children of Israel spake I a word with any of the tribes of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people Israel, saying, Why build ye not me an house of cedar?
8
Now therefore so shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus saith the
Lord
of hosts, I took thee from the sheepcote, from following the sheep, to be ruler over my people, over Israel:
9
And I was with thee whithersoever thou wentest, and have cut off all thine enemies out of thy sight, and have made thee a great name, like unto the name of the great men that are in the earth.
10
Moreover I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own, and move no more; neither shall the children of wickedness afflict them any more, as beforetime,
11
And as since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel, and have caused thee to rest from all thine enemies. Also the
Lord
telleth thee that he will make thee an house.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 7
5
"Go to my servant David and say, ‘This is what the
Lord
says: Are you to build me a house to dwell in?
6
From the time I brought the Israelites out of Egypt until today I have not dwelt in a house; instead, I have been moving around with a tent as my dwelling.
7
In all my journeys with all the Israelites, have I ever spoken a word to one of the tribes of Israel, whom I commanded to shepherd my people Israel, asking: Why haven’t you built me a house of cedar?’
8
"So now this is what you are to say to my servant David: ‘This is what the
Lord
of Armies says: I took you from the pasture, from tending the flock, to be ruler over my people Israel.
9
I have been with you wherever you have gone, and I have destroyed all your enemies before you. I will make a great name for you like that of the greatest on the earth.
10
I will designate a place for my people Israel and plant them, so that they may live there and not be disturbed again. Evildoers will not continue to oppress them as they have done
11
ever since the day I ordered judges to be over my people Israel. I will give you rest from all your enemies. "‘The
Lord
declares to you: The
Lord
himself will make a house for you.
New Living Translation
Chapter 7
5
'Go and tell my servant David, ‘This is what the
Lord
has declared: Are you the one to build a house for me to live in?
6
I have never lived in a house, from the day I brought the Israelites out of Egypt until this very day. I have always moved from one place to another with a tent and a Tabernacle as my dwelling.
7
Yet no matter where I have gone with the Israelites, I have never once complained to Israel’s tribal leaders, the shepherds of my people Israel. I have never asked them, 'Why haven’t you built me a beautiful cedar house?'’
8
'Now go and say to my servant David, ‘This is what the
Lord
of Heaven’s Armies has declared: I took you from tending sheep in the pasture and selected you to be the leader of my people Israel.
9
I have been with you wherever you have gone, and I have destroyed all your enemies before your eyes. Now I will make your name as famous as anyone who has ever lived on the earth!
10
And I will provide a homeland for my people Israel, planting them in a secure place where they will never be disturbed. Evil nations won’t oppress them as they’ve done in the past,
11
starting from the time I appointed judges to rule my people Israel. And I will give you rest from all your enemies. '‘Furthermore, the
Lord
declares that he will make a house for you — a dynasty of kings!

5
"Go and tell my servant David, ‘Thus says the
Lord
: Would you build me a house to dwell in?
6
I have not lived in a house since the day I brought up the people of Israel from Egypt to this day, but I have been moving about in a tent for my dwelling.
7
In all places where I have moved with all the people of Israel, did I speak a word with any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to shepherd my people Israel, saying, "Why have you not built me a house of cedar?"’
8
Now, therefore, thus you shall say to my servant David, ‘Thus says the
Lord
of hosts, I took you from the pasture, from following the sheep, that you should be prince over my people Israel.
9
And I have been with you wherever you went and have cut off all your enemies from before you. And I will make for you a great name, like the name of the great ones of the earth.
10
And I will appoint a place for my people Israel and will plant them, so that they may dwell in their own place and be disturbed no more. And violent men shall afflict them no more, as formerly,
11
from the time that I appointed judges over my people Israel. And I will give you rest from all your enemies. Moreover, the
Lord
declares to you that the
Lord
will make you a house.

6
I have not dwelt in a house from the day I brought the Israelites up out of Egypt to this day. I have been moving from place to place with a tent as my dwelling.
7
Wherever I have moved with all the Israelites, did I ever say to any of their rulers whom I commanded to shepherd my people Israel, "Why have you not built me a house of cedar?" ’
8
"Now then, tell my servant David, ‘This is what the
Lord
Almighty says: I took you from the pasture, from tending the flock, and appointed you ruler over my people Israel.
9
I have been with you wherever you have gone, and I have cut off all your enemies from before you. Now I will make your name great, like the names of the greatest men on earth.
10
And I will provide a place for my people Israel and will plant them so that they can have a home of their own and no longer be disturbed. Wicked people will not oppress them anymore, as they did at the beginning
11
and have done ever since the time I appointed leaders over my people Israel. I will also give you rest from all your enemies. " ‘The

himself will establish a house for you:
