Nathan replied to the king,“You should go and do whatever you have in mind, for the LORD is with you.”
That night the LORD’s message came to Nathan,
“Go, tell my servant David:‘This is what the LORD has said: Do you really intend to build a house for me to live in?
I have not lived in a house from the time I brought the Israelites up from Egypt to the present day. Instead, I was traveling with them and living in a tent.
Wherever I moved among all the Israelites, I did not say to any of their leaders whom I appointed to care for my people Israel,“Why have you not built me a house made from cedar?”’
“So now, say this to my servant David:‘This is what the LORD of Heaven’s Armies has said: I took you from the pasture and from your work as a shepherd to make you leader of my people Israel.
I was with you wherever you went, and I defeated all your enemies before you. Now I will make you as famous as the great men of the earth.
