- 2 Samuel 6
  
  1 David again gathered together all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand.
  
  2 David arose, and went with all the people who were with him, from Baale Judah, to bring up from there the ark of God, which is called by the Name, even the name of Yahweh of Armies who sits above the cherubim.
  
  3 They set the ark of God on a new cart, and brought it out of the house of Abinadab that was in the hill: and Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, drove the new cart.
  
  4 They brought it out of the house of Abinadab, which was in the hill, with the ark of God: and Ahio went before the ark.
  
  5 David and all the house of Israel played before Yahweh with all kinds of instruments made of fir wood, and with harps, and with stringed instruments, and with tambourines, and with castanets, and with cymbals.
  
  6 When they came to the threshing floor of Nacon, Uzzah reached for the ark of God, and took hold of it; for the cattle stumbled.
  
  7 The anger of Yahweh was kindled against Uzzah; and God struck him there for his error; and there he died by the ark of God.
  
  8 David was displeased, because Yahweh had broken forth on Uzzah; and he called that place Perez Uzzah, to this day.
  
  9 David was afraid of Yahweh that day; and he said, "How shall the ark of Yahweh come to me?"
  
  10 So David would not move the ark of Yahweh to be with him in the city of David; but David carried it aside into the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite.
  
  11 The ark of Yahweh remained in the house of Obed-Edom the Gittite three months: and Yahweh blessed Obed-Edom, and all his house.
  
  12 It was told king David, saying, "Yahweh has blessed the house of Obed-Edom, and all that pertains to him, because of the ark of God." David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obed-Edom into the city of David with joy.
  
  13 It was so, that, when those who bore the ark of Yahweh had gone six paces, he sacrificed an ox and a fattened calf.
  
  14 David danced before Yahweh with all his might; and David was clothed in a linen ephod.
  
  15 So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of Yahweh with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet.
  
  16 It was so, as the ark of Yahweh came into the city of David, that Michal the daughter of Saul looked out at the window, and saw king David leaping and dancing before Yahweh; and she despised him in her heart.
  
  17 They brought in the ark of Yahweh, and set it in its place, in the midst of the tent that David had pitched for it; and David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before Yahweh.
  
  18 When David had made an end of offering the burnt offering and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of Yahweh of Armies.
  
  19 He gave to all the people, even among the whole multitude of Israel, both to men and women, to everyone a portion of bread, dates, and raisins. So all the people departed everyone to his house.
  
  20 Then David returned to bless his household. Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David, and said, "How glorious the king of Israel was today, who uncovered himself today in the eyes of the handmaids of his servants, as one of the vain fellows shamelessly uncovers himself!"
  
  21 David said to Michal, "It was before Yahweh, who chose me above your father, and above all his house, to appoint me prince over the people of Yahweh, over Israel. Therefore will I celebrate before Yahweh.
  
  22 I will be yet more vile than this, and will be base in my own sight. But of the handmaids of whom you have spoken, they shall honor me."
  
  23 Michal the daughter of Saul had no child to the day of her death.
  
  2 Samuel 7
  
  1 It happened, when the king lived in his house, and Yahweh had given him rest from all his enemies all around,
  
  2 that the king said to Nathan the prophet, "See now, I dwell in a house of cedar, but the ark of God dwells within curtains."
  
  3 Nathan said to the king, "Go, do all that is in your heart; for Yahweh is with you."
  
  4 It happened the same night, that the word of Yahweh came to Nathan, saying,
  
  5 "Go and tell my servant David, 'Thus says Yahweh, "Shall you build me a house for me to dwell in?
  
  6 For I have not lived in a house since the day that I brought up the children of Israel out of Egypt, even to this day, but have moved around in a tent and in a tabernacle.
  
  7 In all places in which I have walked with all the children of Israel, did I say a word to any of the tribes of Israel, whom I commanded to be shepherd of my people Israel, saying, 'Why have you not built me a house of cedar?'"'
  
  8 Now therefore you shall tell my servant David this, 'Thus says Yahweh of Armies, "I took you from the sheep pen, from following the sheep, that you should be prince over my people, over Israel.
  
  9 I have been with you wherever you went, and have cut off all your enemies from before you. I will make you a great name, like the name of the great ones who are in the earth.
  
  10 I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in their own place, and be moved no more; neither shall the children of wickedness afflict them any more, as at the first,
  
  11 and as from the day that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. I will cause you to rest from all your enemies. Moreover Yahweh tells you that Yahweh will make you a house.
  
  12 When your days are fulfilled, and you shall sleep with your fathers, I will set up your seed after you, who shall proceed out of your bowels, and I will establish his kingdom.
  
  13 He shall build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.
  
  14 I will be his father, and he shall be my son. If he commits iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men;
  
  15 but my loving kindness shall not depart from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before you.
  
  16 Your house and your kingdom shall be made sure forever before you. Your throne shall be established forever."'"
  
  17 According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so Nathan spoke to David.
  
  18 Then David the king went in, and sat before Yahweh; and he said, "Who am I, Lord Yahweh, and what is my house, that you have brought me thus far?
  
  19 This was yet a small thing in your eyes, Lord Yahweh; but you have spoken also of your servant's house for a great while to come; and this after the way of men, Lord Yahweh!
  
  20 What more can David say to you? For you know your servant, Lord Yahweh.
  
  21 For your word's sake, and according to your own heart, you have worked all this greatness, to make your servant know it.
  
  22 Therefore you are great, Yahweh God. For there is none like you, neither is there any God besides you, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
  
  23 What one nation in the earth is like your people, even like Israel, whom God went to redeem to himself for a people, and to make himself a name, and to do great things for you, and awesome things for your land, before your people, whom you redeem to yourself out of Egypt, from the nations and their gods?
  
  24 You established for yourself your people Israel to be a people to you forever; and you, Yahweh, became their God.
  
  25 Now, Yahweh God, the word that you have spoken concerning your servant, and concerning his house, confirm it forever, and do as you have spoken.
  
  26 Let your name be magnified forever, saying, 'Yahweh of Armies is God over Israel; and the house of your servant David shall be established before you.'
  
  27 For you, Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, have revealed to your servant, saying, 'I will build you a house.' Therefore your servant has found in his heart to pray this prayer to you.
  
  28 "Now, O Lord Yahweh, you are God, and your words are truth, and you have promised this good thing to your servant.
  
  29 Now therefore let it please you to bless the house of your servant, that it may continue forever before you; for you, Lord Yahweh, have spoken it. Let the house of your servant be blessed forever with your blessing."
  
  1 Chroniques 17
  
  1 It happened, when David lived in his house, that David said to Nathan the prophet, "Behold, I dwell in a house of cedar, but the ark of the covenant of Yahweh is under curtains."
  
  2 Nathan said to David, "Do all that is in your heart; for God is with you."
  
  3 It happened the same night, that the word of God came to Nathan, saying,
  
  4 "Go and tell David my servant, 'Thus says Yahweh, "You shall not build me a house to dwell in;
  
  5 for I have not lived in a house since the day that I brought up Israel, to this day, but have gone from tent to tent, and from one tent to another.
  
  6 In all places in which I have walked with all Israel, did I speak a word with any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to be shepherd of my people, saying, 'Why have you not built me a house of cedar?'"'
  
  7 "Now therefore, you shall tell my servant David, 'Thus says Yahweh of Armies, "I took you from the sheep pen, from following the sheep, that you should be prince over my people Israel.
  
  8 I have been with you wherever you have gone, and have cut off all your enemies from before you. I will make you a name, like the name of the great ones who are in the earth.
  
  9 I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in their own place, and be moved no more; neither shall the children of wickedness waste them any more, as at the first,
  
  10 and from the day that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel; and I will subdue all your enemies. Moreover I tell you that Yahweh will build you a house.
  
  11 It shall happen, when your days are fulfilled that you must go to be with your fathers, that I will set up your seed after you, who shall be of your sons; and I will establish his kingdom.
  
  12 He shall build me a house, and I will establish his throne forever.
  
  13 I will be his father, and he shall be my son. I will not take my loving kindness away from him, as I took it from him that was before you;
  
  14 but I will settle him in my house and in my kingdom forever. His throne shall be established forever."'"
  
  15 According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so Nathan spoke to David.
  
  16 Then David the king went in, and sat before Yahweh; and he said, "Who am I, Yahweh God, and what is my house, that you have brought me thus far?
  
  17 This was a small thing in your eyes, God; but you have spoken of your servant's house for a great while to come, and have respected me according to the estate of a man of high degree, Yahweh God.
  
  18 What can David say yet more to you concerning the honor which is done to your servant? For you know your servant.
  
  19 Yahweh, for your servant's sake, and according to your own heart, you have worked all this greatness, to make known all these great things.
  
  20 Yahweh, there is none like you, neither is there any God besides you, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
  
  21 What one nation in the earth is like your people Israel, whom God went to redeem to himself for a people, to make you a name by great and awesome things, in driving out nations from before your people, whom you redeem out of Egypt?
  
  22 For your people Israel you made your own people forever; and you, Yahweh, became their God.
  
  23 Now, Yahweh, let the word that you have spoken concerning your servant, and concerning his house, be established forever, and do as you have spoken.
  
  24 Let your name be established and magnified forever, saying, 'Yahweh of Armies is the God of Israel, even a God to Israel. The house of David your servant is established before you.'
  
  25 For you, my God, have revealed to your servant that you will build him a house. Therefore your servant has found courage to pray before you.
  
  26 Now, Yahweh, you are God, and have promised this good thing to your servant.
  
  27 Now it has pleased you to bless the house of your servant, that it may continue forever before you; for you, Yahweh, have blessed, and it is blessed forever."
