Context 2Then Nathan said to David, Do all that is in your heart, for God is with you. 3It came about the same night that the word of God came to Nathan, saying, 4Go and tell David My servant, Thus says the LORD, You shall not build a house for Me to dwell in; 5for I have not dwelt in a house since the day that I brought up Israel to this day, but I have gone from tent to tent and from one dwelling place to another. 6In all places where I have walked with all Israel, have I spoken a word with any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to shepherd My people, saying, Why have you not built for Me a house of cedar? 7Now, therefore, thus shall you say to My servant David, Thus says the LORD of hosts, I took you from the pasture, from following the sheep, to be leader over My people Israel. 8I have been with you wherever you have gone, and have cut off all your enemies from before you; and I will make you a name like the name of the great ones who are in the earth. 9I will appoint a place for My people Israel, and will plant them, so that they may dwell in their own place and not be moved again; and the wicked will not waste them anymore as formerly, 10even from the day that I commanded judges to be over My people Israel. And I will subdue all your enemies. Davids Prayer in Response 16Then David the king went in and sat before the LORD and said, Who am I, O LORD God, and what is my house that You have brought me this far? 17This was a small thing in Your eyes, O God; but You have spoken of Your servants house for a great while to come, and have regarded me according to the standard of a man of high degree, O LORD God. 18What more can David still say to You concerning the honor bestowed on Your servant?
