Contextual Overview
1 After David had been living in his palace awhile, he said to Natan the prophet, "Here, I'm living in a cedar-wood palace; but the ark for the covenant of Adonai is kept under a tent!" 2 Natan said to David, "Go, do everything that is in your heart, for God is with you." 3 But that same night the word of God came to Natan: 4 "Go, and tell David my servant that this is what Adonai says: ‘You are not to build me a house to live in, 5 because from the day I brought up Isra'el until today, I never lived in a house; rather, I've gone from tent to tent and from one tabernacle to another. 6 Everywhere I traveled with all Isra'el, did I ever speak a word to any of the judges of Isra'el, whom I ordered to shepherd my people Isra'el, asking, "Why haven't you built me a cedar-wood house?"' 7 "Therefore say to my servant David that this is what Adonai -Tzva'ot says: ‘I took you from the sheep-yards, from following the sheep, to make you chief over my people Isra'el. 8 I have been with you wherever you went, I have destroyed all your enemies ahead of you; and I am making your reputation like the reputations of the greatest people on earth. 9 I will assign a place to my people Isra'el; I will plant them there, so that they can live in their own place without being disturbed any more. The wicked will no longer devastate them, as they did at the beginning, 10 and as they did from the time I ordered judges to be over my people Isra'el; instead, I will subdue all your enemies. "‘Moreover, I tell you that Adonai will make you a house.
