| 7 1 | vv1-29: cp 1Chr. 17.1-27 As soon as the king was established in his house and the LORD had given him security from his enemies on all sides, | Nathan the prophet. 2Sm.7.1-17 | 1Chr.17.1-15 | וַיְהִי כִּי־יָשַׁב הַמֶּלֶךְ בְּבֵיתֹו וַיהוָה הֵנִיחַ־לֹו מִסָּבִיב מִכָּל־אֹיְבָיו׃ | 
|
| 2 | he said to Nathan the prophet, 'Here I live in a house of cedar, while the Ark of God is housed in curtains.' |  | וַיֹּאמֶר הַמֶּלֶךְ אֶל־נָתָן הַנָּבִיא רְאֵה נָא אָנֹכִי יֹושֵׁב בְּבֵית אֲרָזִים וַאֲרֹון הָאֱלֹהִים יֹשֵׁב בְּתֹוךְ הַיְרִיעָה׃ | 
|
| 3 | Nathan answered the king, 'Very well, do whatever you have in mind, for the LORD is with you.' |  | וַיֹּאמֶר נָתָן אֶל־הַמֶּלֶךְ כֹּל אֲשֶׁר בִּלְבָבְךָ לֵךְ עֲשֵׂה כִּי יְהוָה עִמָּךְ׃ ס | 
|
| 4 | But that night the word of the LORD came to Nathan: |  | וַיְהִי בַּלַּיְלָה הַהוּא וַיְהִי דְּבַר־יְהוָה אֶל־נָתָן לֵאמֹר׃ | 
|
| 5 | 'Go and say to David my servant, "This is the word of the LORD: Are you the man to build me a house to dwell in? |  | לֵךְ וְאָמַרְתָּ אֶל־עַבְדִּי אֶל־דָּוִד כֹּה אָמַר יְהוָה הַאַתָּה תִּבְנֶה־לִּי בַיִת לְשִׁבְתִּי׃ | 
|
| 6 | Down to this day I have never dwelt in a house since I brought lsrael up from Egypt; I made my journey in a tent and a tabernacle. |  | כִּי לֹא יָשַׁבְתִּי בְּבַיִת לְמִיֹּום הַעֲלֹתִי אֶת־בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל מִמִּצְרַיִם וְעַד הַיֹּום הַזֶּה וָאֶהְיֶה מִתְהַלֵּךְ בְּאֹהֶל וּבְמִשְׁכָּן׃ | 
|
| 7 | Wherever I journeyed with Israel, did I ever ask any of the judges prob. rdg, cp 1Chr. 17.6; Heb tribes whom I appointed shepherds of my people Israel why they had not built me a house of cedar?" |  | בְּכֹל אֲשֶׁר־הִתְהַלַּכְתִּי בְּכָל־בְּנֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל הֲדָבָר דִּבַּרְתִּי אֶת־אַחַד שִׁבְטֵי יִשְׂרָאֵל אֲשֶׁר צִוִּיתִי לִרְעֹות אֶת־עַמִּי אֶת־יִשְׂרָאֵל לֵאמֹר לָמָּה לֹא־בְנִיתֶם לִי בֵּית אֲרָזִים׃ | 
|
| 8 | Then say this to my servant David: "This is the word of the LORD of Hosts: I took you from the pastures, and from following the sheep, to be prince over my people Israel. |  | וְעַתָּה כֹּה־תֹאמַר לְעַבְדִּי לְדָוִד כֹּה אָמַר יְהוָה צְבָאֹות אֲנִי לְקַחְתִּיךָ מִן־הַנָּוֶה מֵאַחַר הַצֹּאן לִהְיֹות נָגִיד עַל־עַמִּי עַל־יִשְׂרָאֵל׃ | 
|
| 9 | I have been with you wherever you have gone, and have destroyed all the enemies in your path. I will make you a great name among the great ones of the earth. |  | וָאֶהְיֶה עִמְּךָ בְּכֹל אֲשֶׁר הָלַכְתָּ וָאַכְרִתָה אֶת־כָּל־אֹיְבֶיךָ מִפָּנֶיךָ וְעָשִׂתִי לְךָ שֵׁם גָּדֹול כְּשֵׁם הַגְּדֹלִים אֲשֶׁר בָּאָרֶץ׃ | 
|
| 10 | I will assign a place for my people Israel; there I will plant them, and they shall dwell in their own land. They shall be disturbed no more, never again shall wicked men oppress them as they did in the past, |  | וְשַׂמְתִּי מָקֹום לְעַמִּי לְיִשְׂרָאֵל וּנְטַעְתִּיו וְשָׁכַן תַּחְתָּיו וְלֹא יִרְגַּז עֹוד וְלֹא־יֹסִיפוּ בְנֵי־עַוְלָה לְעַנֹּותֹו כַּאֲשֶׁר בָּרִאשֹׁונָה׃ | 
|
| 11 | ever since the time when I appointed judges over Israel my people; and I will give you peace from all your enemies. The LORD has told you that he would build up your royal house. |  | וּלְמִן־הַיֹּום אֲשֶׁר צִוִּיתִי שֹׁפְטִים עַל־עַמִּי יִשְׂרָאֵל וַהֲנִיחֹתִי לְךָ מִכָּל־אֹיְבֶיךָ וְהִגִּיד לְךָ יְהוָה כִּי־בַיִת יַעֲשֶׂה־לְּךָ יְהוָה׃ | 
|
| 12 | When your life ends. and you rest with your forefathers, I will set up one of your family, one of your own children, to succeed you and I will establish his kingdom. |  | כִּי יִמְלְאוּ יָמֶיךָ וְשָׁכַבְתָּ אֶת־אֲבֹתֶיךָ וַהֲקִימֹתִי אֶת־זַרְעֲךָ אַחֲרֶיךָ אֲשֶׁר יֵצֵא מִמֵּעֶיךָ וַהֲכִינֹתִי אֶת־מַמְלַכְתֹּו׃ | 
|
| 13 | It is he shall build a house in honour of my name, and I will establish his royal throne for ever. |  | הוּא יִבְנֶה־בַּיִת לִשְׁמִי וְכֹנַנְתִּי אֶת־כִּסֵּא מַמְלַכְתֹּו עַד־עֹולָם׃ | 
|
| 14 | I will be his father, and he shall be my son. When he does wrong, I will punish him as any father might, and not spare the rod. |  | אֲנִי אֶהְיֶה־לֹּו לְאָב וְהוּא יִהְיֶה־לִּי לְבֵן אֲשֶׁר בְּהַעֲוֹתֹו וְהֹכַחְתִּיו בְּשֵׁבֶט אֲנָשִׁים וּבְנִגְעֵי בְּנֵי אָדָם׃ | 
|
| 15 | My love will never be withdrawn from him as I withdrew it from Saul, whom I removed from your path. |  | וְחַסְדִּי לֹא־יָסוּר מִמֶּנּוּ כַּאֲשֶׁר הֲסִרֹתִי מֵעִם שָׁאוּל אֲשֶׁר הֲסִרֹתִי מִלְּפָנֶיךָ׃ | 
|
| 16 | Your family shall be established and your kingdom shall stand for all time in my sight, and your throne shall be established for ever." ' 
 
 |  | וְנֶאְמַן בֵּיתְךָ וּמַמְלַכְתְּךָ עַד־עֹולָם לְפָנֶיךָ כִּסְאֲךָ יִהְיֶה נָכֹון עַד־עֹולָם׃ | 
|
| 17 | Nathan recounted to David all that had been said to him and all that had been revealed. |  | כְּכֹל הַדְּבָרִים הָאֵלֶּה וּכְכֹל הַחִזָּיֹון הַזֶּה כֵּן דִּבֶּר נָתָן אֶל־דָּוִד׃ ס |
