2 Samuel 7:1-3
1599 Geneva Bible
7 2 David would build God an house, but is forbidden by the Prophet Nathan. 8 God putteth David in mind of his benefits. 12 He promiseth continuance of his kingdom and posterity.
1 Afterward (A)when the King sat in his house, and the Lord had given him rest round about from all his enemies,
2 The King said unto Nathan the Prophet, Behold, now I dwell in an house of cedar trees, and the Ark of God remaineth within the [a]curtains.
3 Then Nathan said unto the king, Go, and do all that is in thine heart: for the Lord is with thee.
