When many things had gone prosperously\r\nwith king David, he thought to make a house for\r\nGod, even that temple of most excellent renown which was\r\nafterwards built by king Solomon his son. While he was\r\nthinking of this, the word of the Lord came to Nathan the\r\nprophet, which he brought to the king, in which, after God\r\nhad said that a house should not be built unto Him by David\r\nhimself, and that in all that long time He had never commanded\r\nany of His people to build Him a house of cedar, he\r\nsays, \"And now thus shalt thou say unto my servant David,\r\nThus saith God Almighty, I took thee from the sheep-cote\r\nthat thou mightest be for a ruler over my people in Israel:\r\nand I was with thee whithersoever thou wentest, and have\r\ncut off all thine enemies from before thy face, and have made\r\nthee a name, according to the name of the great ones who are\r\nover the earth. And I will appoint a place for my people\r\nIsrael, and will plant him, and he shall dwell apart, and shall\r\nbe troubled no more; and the son of wickedness shall not\r\nhumble him any more, as from the beginning, from the days\r\nwhen I appointed judges over my people Israel. And I will\r\ngive thee rest from all thine enemies, and the Lord will tell\r\n[hath told] thee, because thou shalt build an house for Him.\r\nAnd it shall come to pass when thy days be fulfilled, and\r\nthou shalt sleep with thy fathers, that I will raise up thy\r\nseed after thee, which shall proceed out of thy bowels, and I\r\nwill prepare his kingdom. He shall build me an house for\r\nmy name; and I will order his throne even to eternity. I\r\nwill be his Father, and he shall be my son. And if he commit\r\niniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with\r\nthe stripes of the sons of men: but my mercy I will not take\r\naway from him, as I took it away from those whom I put\r\naway from before my face.
