Then the king spoke to Nathan the prophet. He said,“ Here I am, living in a house that has beautiful cedar walls. But the ark of God remains in a tent.”

the king said to Nathan the prophet,“ See now, I dwell in a house of cedar, but the ark of God dwells in a tent.”

the king summoned Nathan the prophet.“ Look,” David said,“ I am living in a beautiful cedar palace, but the Ark of God is out there in a tent!”

Then Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David with cedar trees, carpenters, and stonemasons; and they built a house for David.

Then the Lord sent Nathan to David. And he came to him and said,“ There were two men in a city, the one wealthy and the other poor.

David found favor in God’s sight, and asked that he might find a dwelling place for the house of Jacob.

“ Is it time for you yourselves to live in your paneled houses while this house remains desolate?”

His disciples remembered that it was written:“ Zeal for Your house will consume me.”

“ Moreover, you shall make the tabernacle with ten curtains of fine twisted linen and violet, purple, and scarlet material; you shall make them with cherubim, the work of a skilled embroiderer.The length of each curtain shall be twenty eight cubits, and the width of each curtain four cubits; all the curtains shall have the same measurements.Five curtains shall be joined to one another, and the other five curtains shall be joined to one another.You shall make loops of violet on the edge of the outermost curtain in the first set, and likewise you shall make them on the edge of the curtain that is outermost in the second set.You shall make fifty loops in the one curtain, and you shall make fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that is in the second set; the loops shall be opposite each other.You shall also make fifty clasps of gold, and join the curtains to one another with the clasps so that the tabernacle will be a unit.“ Then you shall make curtains of goats’ hair as a tent over the tabernacle; you shall make eleven curtains in all.The length of each curtain shall be thirty cubits, and the width of each curtain four cubits; the eleven curtains shall have the same measurements.You shall join five curtains by themselves and the other six curtains by themselves, and you shall double over the sixth curtain at the front of the tent.You shall make fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that is outermost in the first set, and fifty loops on the edge of the curtain that is outermost in the second set.“ You shall also make fifty clasps of bronze, and you shall put the clasps into the loops and join the tent together so that it will be a unit.The overhanging part that is left over in the curtains of the tent, the half curtain that is left over, shall hang over the back of the tabernacle.The cubit on one side and the cubit on the other, of what is left over in the length of the curtains of the tent, shall hang over the sides of the tabernacle on one side and on the other, to cover it.And you shall make a covering for the tent of rams’ skins dyed red and a covering of fine leather above.

Now the acts of King David, from the first to the last, are written in the chronicles of Samuel the seer, in the chronicles of Nathan the prophet, and in the chronicles of Gad the seer,

And they brought in the ark of God and placed it inside the tent which David had pitched for it, and they offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before God.

However, David had brought up the ark of God from Kiriath jearim to the place he had prepared for it, for he had pitched a tent for it in Jerusalem.

“ Woe to him who builds his house without righteousness, And his upstairs rooms without justice, Who uses his neighbor’s services without pay And does not give him his wages,Who says,‘ I will build myself a large house With spacious upstairs rooms, And cut out its windows, Paneling it with cedar and painting it bright red.’Do you become a king because you are competing in cedar? Did your father not eat and drink And do justice and righteousness? Then it was well for him.

Now Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David with cedar trees, masons, and carpenters, to build a house for him.

Until I find a place for the Lord, A dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob.”

In accordance with all these words and all of this vision, so Nathan spoke to David.

He then brought the ark into the tabernacle, and set up a veil for the covering, and screened off the ark of the testimony, just as the Lord had commanded Moses.

Now they brought in the ark of the Lord and set it in its place inside the tent which David had pitched for it; and David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the Lord.
