And when he had removed G3179 him, he raised G1453 up to them David G1138 to be their king; G935 to whom G3739 also G2532 he gave G3140 their testimony, G3140 and said, G2036 I have found G2147 David G1138 the son G5207 of Jesse, G2421 a man G435 after G2596 my G3450 own heart, G2588 which G3739 shall fulfill G4160 all G3956 my will. G2307

And Samuel H8050 said H559 to him, The LORD H3068 has rent H7167 the kingdom H4468 of Israel H3478 from you this day, H3117 and has given H5414 it to a neighbor H7453 of yours, that is better H2896 than you.

And the LORD H3068 said H559 to Samuel, H8050 How H5704 long H5704 will you mourn H56 for Saul, H7586 seeing I have rejected H3988 him from reigning H4427 over H5921 Israel? H3478 fill H4390 your horn H7161 with oil, H8081 and go, H3212 I will send H7971 you to Jesse H3448 the Bethlehemite: H1022 for I have provided H7200 me a king H4428 among his sons. H1121

And Samuel H8050 said H559 to Jesse, H3448 Are here H8552 all H8552 your children? H5288 And he said, H559 There remains H7604 yet H5750 the youngest, H3996 and, behold, H2009 he keeps H7462 the sheep. H6629 And Samuel H8050 said H559 to Jesse, H3448 Send H7971 and fetch H3947 him: for we will not sit H5437 down till H5704 he come H935 here. H6311

Then Samuel H8050 took H3947 the horn H7161 of oil, H8081 and anointed H4886 him in the middle H7130 of his brothers: H251 and the Spirit H7307 of the LORD H3068 came H6743 on David H1732 from that day H3117 forward. H4605 So Samuel H8050 rose H6965 up, and went H3212 to Ramah. H7414

And David H1732 said H559 to Michal, H4324 It was before H6440 the LORD, H3068 which H834 chose H977 me before your father, H1 and before all H3605 his house, H1004 to appoint H6680 me ruler H5057 over H5921 the people H5971 of the LORD, H3068 over H5921 Israel: H3478 therefore will I play H7832 before H6440 the LORD. H3068

And it came H1961 to pass, when H3588 the king H4428 sat H3427 in his house, H1004 and the LORD H3068 had given him rest H5117 round H5439 about from all H3605 his enemies; H341

Now H6258 therefore so shall you say H559 to my servant H5650 David, H1732 Thus H3541 said H559 the LORD H3068 of hosts, H6635 I took H3947 you from the sheepcote, H5116 from following H310 the sheep, H6629 to be ruler H5057 over H5921 my people, H5971 over H5921 Israel: H3478

Then went H935 king H4428 David H1732 in, and sat H3427 before H6440 the LORD, H3068 and he said, H559 Who H4310 am I, O Lord H136 GOD? H3069 and what H4310 is my house, H1004 that you have brought H935 me till now? H1988

And this H2063 was yet H5750 a small H6994 thing in your sight, H5869 O Lord H136 GOD; H3069 but you have spoken H1696 also H1571 of your servant's H5650 house H1004 for a great H7350 while H7350 to come. And is this H2063 the manner H8452 of man, H120 O Lord H136 GOD? H3069

However, the LORD H3068 God H430 of Israel H3478 chose H977 me before all H3605 the house H1004 of my father H25 to be king H4428 over H5921 Israel H3478 for ever: H5769 for he has chosen H977 Judah H3063 to be the ruler; H5057 and of the house H1004 of Judah, H3063 the house H1004 of my father; H25 and among the sons H1121 of my father H25 he liked H7521 me to make me king H4427 over H5921 all H3605 Israel: H3478

And of all H3605 my sons, H1121 (for the LORD H3068 has given H5414 me many H7227 sons, H1121 ) he has chosen H977 Solomon H8010 my son H1121 to sit H3427 on the throne H3678 of the kingdom H4438 of the LORD H3068 over H5921 Israel. H3478

But chose H977 the tribe H7626 of Judah, H3063 the mount H2022 Zion H6726 which H834 he loved. H157

He chose H977 David H1732 also his servant, H5650 and took H3947 him from the sheepfolds: H4356

So he fed H7462 them according to the integrity H8537 of his heart; H3824 and guided H5148 them by the skillfulness H8394 of his hands. H3709

Then H227 you spoke H1696 in vision H2377 to your holy H2623 one, and said, H559 I have laid H7737 help H5828 on one that is mighty; H1368 I have exalted H7311 one chosen H970 out of the people. H5971

With whom H834 my hand H3027 shall be established: H3559 my arm H2220 also H637 shall strengthen H553 him.

And I will beat H3807 down his foes H6862 before his face, H6440 and plague H5063 them that hate H8130 him.

I will set H7760 his hand H3027 also in the sea, H3220 and his right H3225 hand H3225 in the rivers. H5104

Also H637 I will make H5414 him my firstborn, H1060 higher H5945 than the kings H4428 of the earth. H776

His seed H2233 also will I make H7760 to endure for ever, H5703 and his throne H3678 as the days H3117 of heaven. H8064

If H518 they break H2490 my statutes, H2708 and keep H8104 not my commandments; H4687

Nevertheless my loving kindness H2617 will I not utterly take H6331 from him, nor H3808 suffer my faithfulness H530 to fail. H8266

Once H259 have I sworn H7650 by my holiness H6944 that I will not lie H3576 to David. H1732

It shall be established H3559 for ever H5769 as the moon, H3394 and as a faithful H539 witness H5707 in heaven. H7834 Selah. H5542

The LORD H3068 has sworn H7650 in truth H571 to David; H1732 he will not turn H7725 from it; Of the fruit H6529 of your body H990 will I set H7896 on your throne. H3678

And it came H1961 to pass, when H3588 the king H4428 sat H3427 in his house, H1004 and the LORD H3068 had given him rest H5117 round H5439 about from all H3605 his enemies; H341

And Nathan H5416 said H559 to the king, H4428 Go, H3212 do H6213 all H3605 that is in your heart; H3824 for the LORD H3068 is with you.

Go H3212 and tell H559 my servant H5650 David, H1732 Thus H3541 said H559 the LORD, H3068 Shall you build H1129 me an house H1004 for me to dwell H3427 in?

And it was in the heart H3824 of David H1732 my father H1 to build H1129 an house H1004 for the name H8034 of the LORD H3068 God H430 of Israel. H3478

Nevertheless H7535 you shall not build H1129 the house; H1004 but your son H1121 that shall come H3318 forth H3318 out of your loins, H2504 he shall build H1129 the house H1004 to my name. H8034

Now it came H1961 to pass, as David H1732 sat H3427 in his house, H1004 that David H1732 said H559 to Nathan H5416 the prophet, H5030 See, H2009 I dwell H3427 in an house H1004 of cedars, H730 but the ark H727 of the covenant H1285 of the LORD H3068 remains under H8478 curtains. H3407

And it came H1961 to pass the same H1931 night, H3915 that the word H1697 of God H430 came H1961 to Nathan, H5416 saying, H559

And David H1732 said H559 to Solomon, H8010 My son, H1121 as for me, it was in my mind H3824 to build H1129 an house H1004 to the name H8034 of the LORD H3068 my God: H430

But the word H1697 of the LORD H3068 came H1961 to me, saying, H559 You have shed H8210 blood H1818 abundantly, H7230 and have made H6213 great H1419 wars: H4421 you shall not build H1129 an house H1004 to my name, H8034 because H3588 you have shed H8210 much H7227 blood H1818 on the earth H776 in my sight. H6440

Then David H1732 the king H4428 stood H6965 up on his feet, H7272 and said, H559 Hear H8085 me, my brothers, H251 and my people: H5971 As for me, I had in my heart H3824 to build H1129 an house H1004 of rest H4496 for the ark H727 of the covenant H1285 of the LORD, H3068 and for the footstool H1916 H7272 of our God, H430 and had made ready H3559 for the building: H1129

But God H430 said H559 to me, You shall not build H1129 an house H1004 for my name, H8034 because H3588 you have been a man H376 of war, H4421 and have shed H8210 blood. H1818

Now I have prepared H3559 with all H3605 my might H3581 for the house H1004 of my God H430 the gold H2091 for things to be made of gold, H2091 and the silver H3701 for things of silver, H3701 and the brass H5178 for things of brass, H5178 the iron H1270 for things of iron, H1270 and wood H6086 for things of wood; H6086 onyx H7718 stones, H68 and stones H68 to be set, H4394 glistering H6320 stones, H68 and of divers H7553 colors, H7553 and all H3605 manner of precious H3368 stones, H68 and marble H7893 stones H68 in abundance. H7230

Moreover, H5750 because I have set my affection H7521 to the house H1004 of my God, H430 I have H3426 of my own proper H5459 good, of gold H2091 and silver, H3701 which I have given H5414 to the house H1004 of my God, H430 over H5921 and above H4605 all H3605 that I have prepared H3559 for the holy H6944 house. H1004

A Song H7892 of degrees. H4609 Lord, H3068 remember H2142 David, H1732 and all H3605 his afflictions: H6031

Surely H518 I will not come H935 into the tabernacle H168 of my house, H1004 nor go H5927 up into H5921 my bed; H6210

Until H5704 I find H4672 out a place H4725 for the LORD, H3068 an habitation H4908 for the mighty H46 God of Jacob. H3290
