“Go and say to My servant David: Thus said GOD: You are not the one to build a house for Me to dwell in.
From the day that I brought out Israel to this day, I have not dwelt in a house, but have [gone] from tent to tent and from one Tabernacle [to another].
As I moved about wherever Israel went, did I ever reproach any of the judges of Israel whom I appointed to care for My people Israel: Why have you not built Me a house of cedar?
“Further, say thus to My servant David: Thus said GOD of Hosts: I took you from the pasture, from following the flock, to be ruler of My people Israel,
and I have been with you wherever you went, and have cut down all your enemies before you. Moreover, I will give you renown like that of the greatest men on earth.
I will establish a home for My people Israel and will plant them firm, so that they shall dwell secure and shall tremble no more. Iniquitous people shall not wear them down anymore as in the past,
ever since I appointed judges over My people Israel. I will subdue all your enemies.“And I declare to you: GOD will build a housebhouse I.e., a dynasty; play on “house” (i.e., temple) in v. 4. for you.
When your days are done and you follow your ancestors, I will raise up your offspring after you, one of your own sons, and I will establish his kingship.

You have established Your people Israel as Your very own people forever; and You, O ETERNAL, have become their God.
Let it be fulfilled that Your name be glorified forever, in that people will say, ‘GOD of Hosts, God of Israel, is Israel’s God’; and may the house of Your servant David be established before You.
Now, it has pleased You to bless Your servant’s house, that it abide before You forever; for You, O ETERNAL One, have blessed and are blessed forever.”
