After removing him, he raised up David as their king and testified about him,‘ I have found David the son of Jesse to be a man after my own heart, who will carry out all my will.’

LORD, remember David and all the hardships he endured,and how he swore an oath to the LORD, making a vow to the Mighty One of Jacob:“ I will not enter my house or get into my bed,I will not allow my eyes to sleep or my eyelids to slumberuntil I find a place for the LORD, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob.”

When the king had settled into his palace and the LORD had given him rest on every side from all his enemies,the king said to the prophet Nathan,“ Look, I am living in a cedar house while the ark of God sits inside tent curtains.”So Nathan told the king,“ Go and do all that is on your mind, for the LORD is with you.”But that night the word of the LORD came to Nathan:“ Go to my servant David and say,‘ This is what the LORD says: Are you to build me a house to dwell in?

“ So now this is what you are to say to my servant David:‘ This is what the LORD of Armies says: I took you from the pasture, from tending the flock, to be ruler over my people Israel.I have been with you wherever you have gone, and I have destroyed all your enemies before you. I will make a great name for you like that of the greatest on the earth.I will designate a place for my people Israel and plant them, so that they may live there and not be disturbed again. Evildoers will not continue to oppress them as they have doneever since the day I ordered judges to be over my people Israel. I will give you rest from all your enemies.“‘ The LORD declares to you: The LORD himself will make a house for you.When your time comes and you rest with your ancestors, I will raise up after you your descendant, who will come from your body, and I will establish his kingdom.He is the one who will build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.I will be his father, and he will be my son. When he does wrong, I will discipline him with a rod of men and blows from mortals.But my faithful love will never leave him as it did when I removed it from Saul, whom I removed from before you.Your house and kingdom will endure before me forever, and your throne will be established forever.’”

When David had settled into his palace, he said to the prophet Nathan,“ Look! I am living in a cedar house while the ark of the LORD’s covenant is under tent curtains.”So Nathan told David,“ Do all that is on your mind, for God is with you.”But that night the word of God came to Nathan:“ Go to David my servant and say,‘ This is what the LORD says: You are not the one to build me a house to dwell in.

The LORD said to Samuel,“ How long are you going to mourn for Saul, since I have rejected him as king over Israel? Fill your horn with oil and go. I am sending you to Jesse of Bethlehem because I have selected for myself a king from his sons.”

Then King David went in, sat in the LORD’s presence, and said, Who am I, Lord GOD, and what is my house that you have brought me this far?What you have done so far was a little thing to you, Lord GOD, for you have also spoken about your servant’s house in the distant future. And this is a revelation for mankind, Lord GOD.

You once spoke in a vision to your faithful ones and said,“ I have granted help to a warrior; I have exalted one chosen from the people.I have found David my servant; I have anointed him with my sacred oil.My hand will always be with him, and my arm will strengthen him.The enemy will not oppress him; the wicked will not afflict him.I will crush his foes before him and strike those who hate him.My faithfulness and love will be with him, and through my name his horn will be exalted.I will extend his power to the sea and his right hand to the rivers.He will call to me,‘ You are my Father, my God, the rock of my salvation.’I will also make him my firstborn, greatest of the kings of the earth.I will always preserve my faithful love for him, and my covenant with him will endure.I will establish his line forever, his throne as long as heaven lasts.If his sons abandon my instruction and do not live by my ordinances,if they dishonor my statutes and do not keep my commands,then I will call their rebellion to account with the rod, their iniquity with blows.But I will not withdraw my faithful love from him or betray my faithfulness.I will not violate my covenant or change what my lips have said.Once and for all I have sworn an oath by my holiness; I will not lie to David.His offspring will continue forever, his throne like the sun before me,like the moon, established forever, a faithful witness in the sky.” Selah

My father David had his heart set on building a temple for the name of the LORD, the God of Israel.But the LORD said to my father David,“ Since your heart was set on building a temple for my name, you have done well to have this desire.Yet you are not the one to build it; instead, your son, your own offspring, will build it for my name.”

The LORD swore an oath to David, a promise he will not abandon:“ I will set one of your offspring on your throne.

David replied to Michal,“ It was before the LORD who chose me over your father and his whole family to appoint me ruler over the LORD’s people Israel. I will dance before the LORD,

Samuel said to him,“ The LORD has torn the kingship of Israel away from you today and has given it to your neighbor who is better than you.

“ My son,” David said to Solomon,“ It was in my heart to build a house for the name of the LORD my God,but the word of the LORD came to me:‘ You have shed much blood and waged great wars. You are not to build a house for my name because you have shed so much blood on the ground before me.

Samuel asked him,“ Are these all the sons you have?”“ There is still the youngest,” he answered,“ but right now he’s tending the sheep.” Samuel told Jesse,“ Send for him. We won’t sit down to eat until he gets here.”So Jesse sent for him. He had beautiful eyes and a healthy, handsome appearance. Then the LORD said,“ Anoint him, for he is the one.”So Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the presence of his brothers, and the Spirit of the LORD came powerfully on David from that day forward. Then Samuel set out and went to Ramah.

So to the best of my ability I’ve made provision for the house of my God: gold for the gold articles, silver for the silver, bronze for the bronze, iron for the iron, and wood for the wood, as well as onyx, stones for mounting, antimony, stones of various colors, all kinds of precious stones, and a great quantity of marble.Moreover, because of my delight in the house of my God, I now give my personal treasures of gold and silver for the house of my God over and above all that I’ve provided for the holy house:

He chose instead the tribe of Judah, Mount Zion, which he loved.He built his sanctuary like the heights, like the earth that he established forever.He chose David his servant and took him from the sheep pens;he brought him from tending ewes to be shepherd over his people Jacob— over Israel, his inheritance.He shepherded them with a pure heart and guided them with his skillful hands.

Then King David rose to his feet and said,“ Listen to me, my brothers and my people. It was in my heart to build a house as a resting place for the ark of the LORD’s covenant and as a footstool for our God. I had made preparations to build,but God said to me,‘ You are not to build a house for my name because you are a man of war and have shed blood.’“ Yet the LORD God of Israel chose me out of all my father’s family to be king over Israel forever. For he chose Judah as leader, and from the house of Judah, my father’s family, and from my father’s sons, he was pleased to make me king over all Israel.And out of all my sons— for the LORD has given me many sons— he has chosen my son Solomon to sit on the throne of the LORD’s kingdom over Israel.
