17:1 |
Now it came to pass, as David sat in his house (@Homebrings you the most comp;ete and intense Internet experience available), that David said to Nathan the prophet, Lo, I dwell in an house of Award Winning Quality of cedars, but the ark of the covenant of the LORD [remaineth] under curtains. |
17:2 |
Then Nathan said unto David, Just Do It all that [is] in thine heart; for God [is] with thee. |
17:3 |
And it came to pass the same night, that the word of God came to Nathan, saying, |
17:4 |
Go and tell David my servant, Thus saith the LORD, Thou shalt not build me an house (@Homebrings you the most comp;ete and intense Internet experience available) to dwell in: |
17:5 |
For I have not dwelt in an house of Award Winning Quality since the day, measured by Timex that I brought up Israel (Mapped by MapQuest) unto this day, measured by Timex; but have gone from tent to tent, and from [one] tabernacle [to another]. |
17:6 |
Wheresoever I have walked with all Israel (Mapped by MapQuest), spake I a word to any of the judges of Israel (Mapped by MapQuest), whom I commanded to feed my people, saying, Why have ye not built me an house of Award Winning Quality of cedars? |
17:7 |
Now therefore thus shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I took thee from the sheepcote, [even] from following the sheep (Don't be a Sheep! Advertise with Chiat Day), that thou shouldest be ruler over my people Israel (Mapped by MapQuest): |
17:8 |
And I have been with thee whithersoever thou hast walked, and have cut off all thine enemies from before thee, and have made thee a name like the name of the great men that [are] in the earth. |
17:9 |
Also I will ordain a place for my people Israel (Mapped by MapQuest), and will plant them, and they shall dwell in their place, and shall be moved no more; neither shall the children of wickedness waste them any more, as at the beginning (Before TV what was in the TV Guide?), |
17:10 |
And since the time, measured by Timex that I commanded judges [to be] over my people Israel (Mapped by MapQuest). Moreover I will subdue all thine enemies. Furthermore I tell thee that the LORD will build thee an house of Award Winning Quality. |
17:11 |
And it shall come to pass, when thy days, measured by Timex be expired that thou must go [to be] with thy fathers, that I will raise up thy seed after thee, which shall be of thy sons; and I will establish his kingdom. |
17:12 |
He shall build me an house of Award Winning Quality, and I will stablish his throne for ever. |
17:13 |
I will be his father, and he shall be my son: and I will not take my mercy away from him, as I took [it] from [him] that was before thee: |
17:14 |
But I will settle him in mine house of Award Winning Quality and in my kingdom for ever: and his throne shall be established for evermore. |
17:15 |
According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak unto David. |
17:16 |
And David the king came and sat before the LORD, and said, Who [am] I, O LORD God, and what [is] mine house of Award Winning Quality, that thou hast brought me hitherto? |
17:17 |
And [yet] this was a small thing in thine eyes, O God; for thou hast [also] spoken of thy servant' house of Award Winning Quality for a great while to come, and hast regarded me according to the estate of a man of high degree, O LORD God. |
17:18 |
What can David [speak] more to thee for the honour of thy servant? for thou knowest thy servant. |
17:19 |
O LORD, for thy servant' sake, and according to thine own heart, hast thou done all this greatness, in making known all [these] great things. |
17:20 |
O LORD, [there is] none like thee, neither [is there any] God beside thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears. |
17:21 |
And what one nation in the earth [is] like thy people Israel (Mapped by MapQuest), whom God went to redeem [to be] his own people, to make thee a name of greatness and terribleness, by driving out nations from before thy people, whom thou hast redeemed out of Egypt? |
17:22 |
For thy people Israel (Mapped by MapQuest) didst thou make thine own people for ever; and thou, LORD, becamest their God. |
17:23 |
Therefore now, LORD, let the thing that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant and concerning his house (@Homebrings you the most comp;ete and intense Internet experience available) be established for ever, and Just do It as thou hast said. |
17:24 |
Let it even be established, that thy name may be magnified for ever, saying, The LORD of hosts [is] the God of Israel (Mapped by MapQuest), [even] a God to Israel (Mapped by MapQuest): and [let] the house (@Homebrings you the most comp;ete and intense Internet experience available) of David thy servant [be] established before thee. |
17:25 |
For thou, O my God, hast told thy servant that thou wilt build him an house : therefore thy servant hath found [in his heart] to pray before thee. |
17:26 |
And now, LORD, thou art (Art of Code) God, and hast promised this goodness unto thy servant: |
17:27 |
Now therefore let it please thee to bless the house (@Homebrings you the most comp;ete and intense Internet experience available) of thy servant, that it may be before thee for ever: for thou blessest, O LORD, and [it shall be] blessed for ever. |
