Devotionals, Articles, and Bible Study Resources on 1 Chronicles 17:1-15

1After David had settled into his palace, he said to Nathan the prophet, “Here I am, living in a house of cedar, while the ark of the covenant of the LORD is under a tent.”
2And Nathan replied to David, “Do all that is in your heart, for God is with you.”
3But that night the word of God came to Nathan, saying,
4“Go and tell My servant David that this is what the LORD says: You are not the one to build Me a house in which to dwell.
5For I have not dwelt in a house from the day I brought Israel up out of Egypt until this day, but I have moved from tent to tent and dwelling to dwelling.
6In all My journeys with all the Israelites, have I ever asked any of the leaders I appointed to shepherd My people, ‘Why haven’ t you built Me a house of cedar?’
7Now then, you are to tell My servant David that this is what the LORD of Hosts says: I took you from the pasture, from following the flock, to be the ruler over My people Israel.
8I have been with you wherever you have gone, and I have cut off all your enemies from before you. Now I will make for you a name like the greatest in the land.
9And I will provide a place for My people Israel and will plant them so that they may dwell in a place of their own and be disturbed no more. No longer will the sons of wickedness oppress them as they did at the beginning
10and have done since the day I appointed judges over My people Israel. And I will subdue all your enemies. Moreover, I declare to you that the LORD will build a house for you.
11And when your days are fulfilled and you go to be with your fathers, I will raise up your descendant after you, one of your own sons, and I will establish his kingdom.
12He will build a house for Me, and I will establish his throne forever.
13I will be his Father, and he will be My son. And I will never remove My loving devotion from him as I removed it from your predecessor.
14But I will set him over My house and My kingdom forever, and his throne will be established forever.”
15So Nathan relayed to David all the words of this entire vision.
