Now that night the word of the Lord came to Nathan, saying,

--------------------

2 Samuel 7:1
Now when the king was living in his house, and the Lord had given him rest from war on every side;

2 Samuel 7:2
The king said to Nathan the prophet, See now, I am living in a house of cedar, but the ark of God is housed inside the curtains of a tent.

2 Samuel 7:3
And Nathan said to the king, Go and do whatever is in your heart; for the Lord is with you.

2 Samuel 7:4
Now that night the word of the Lord came to Nathan, saying,

2 Samuel 7:5
Go and say to my servant David, The Lord says, Are you to be the builder of a house, a living-place for me?

2 Samuel 7:6
For from the day when I took the children of Israel up out of Egypt till this day, I have had no house, but have gone from place to place in a tent.

2 Samuel 7:7
In all the places where I went with all the children of Israel, did I ever say to any of the judges of Israel, to whom I gave the care of my people Israel, Why have you not made me a house of cedar?

1 Chronicles 17:1
Now when David was living in his house, he said to Nathan the prophet, See, I am living in a house of cedar-wood, but the ark of the Lord's agreement is under the curtains of a tent.

And Nathan said to David, Do whatever is in your heart, for God is with you.

1 Chronicles 17:3
But that same night, the word of God came to Nathan, saying,

1 Chronicles 17:4
Go and say to David my servant, The Lord says, You are not to make me a house for my living-place:

Numbers 12:6
And he said, Now give ear to my words: if there is a prophet among you I will give him knowledge of myself in a vision and will let my words come to him in a dream.

2 Samuel 7:16
And your family and your kingdom will keep their place before me for ever: the seat of your authority will never be overturned.

2 Samuel 24:11
And David got up in the morning; now the word of the Lord had come to the prophet Gad, David's seer, saying,

But you yourself will not be the builder of my house; but your son, the offspring of your body, he it is who will put up a house for my name.

2 Samuel 12:1
And the Lord sent Nathan to David. And Nathan came to him and said, There were two men in the same town: one a man of great wealth, and the other a poor man.

2 Samuel 12:2
The man of wealth had great numbers of flocks and herds;

2 Samuel 12:3
But the poor man had only one little she-lamb, which he had got and taken care of: from its birth it had been with him like one of his children; his meat was its food, and from his cup it took its drink, resting in his arms, and it was like a daughter to him.

2 Samuel 12:4
Now a traveller came to the house of the man of wealth, but he would not take anything from his flock or his herd to make a meal for the traveller who had come to him, but he took the poor man's lamb and made it ready for the man who had come.

2 Samuel 12:5
And David was full of wrath against that man; and he said to Nathan, By the living Lord, death is the right punishment for the man who has done this:

2 Samuel 12:6
And he will have to give back four times the value of the lamb, because he has done this and because he had no pity.

2 Samuel 12:7
And Nathan said to David, You are that man. The Lord God of Israel says, I made you king over Israel, putting holy oil on you, and I kept you safe from the hands of Saul;

2 Samuel 12:8
I gave you your master's daughter and your master's wives for yourself, and I gave you the daughters of Israel and Judah; and if that had not been enough, I would have given you such and such things.

2 Samuel 12:9
Why then have you had no respect for the word of the Lord, doing what is evil in his eyes? You have put Uriah the Hittite to death with the sword, and have taken his wife to be your wife; you have put him to death with the sword of the children of Ammon.

2 Samuel 12:10
So now the sword will never be turned away from your family; because you have had no respect for me, and have taken the wife of Uriah the Hittite to be your wife.

2 Samuel 12:11
The Lord says, From those of your family I will send evil against you, and before your very eyes I will take your wives and give them to your neighbour, and he will take your wives to his bed by the light of this sun.

2 Samuel 12:12
You did it secretly; but I will do this thing before all Israel and in the light of the sun.

2 Samuel 12:13
And David said to Nathan, Great is my sin against the Lord. And Nathan said to David, The Lord has put away your sin; death will not come on you.

2 Samuel 12:14
But still, because you have had no respect for the Lord, death will certainly overtake the child who has newly come to birth.

2 Samuel 12:15
Then Nathan went back to his house. And the hand of the Lord was on David's son, the child of Uriah's wife, and it became very ill.

1 Chronicles 22:8
But the word of the Lord came to me saying, You have taken lives without number and made great wars; I will not let you be the builder of a house for my name, because of the lives you have taken on the earth before my eyes.

1 Chronicles 28:2
Then David the king got up and said, Give ear to me, my brothers and my people; it was my desire to put up a house, a resting-place for the ark of the Lord's agreement, and for the foot-rest of our God; and I had got material ready for the building of it.

1 Chronicles 28:3
But God said to me, You are not to be the builder of a house for my name, because you are a man of war and have taken life;

2 Chronicles 6:8
But the Lord said to David my father, You did well to have in your heart the desire to make a house for my name:

2 Chronicles 6:9
But you yourself will not be the builder of the house; but your son, the offspring of your body, he it is who will put up a house for my name.
