Die Verheißung für David und sein Königtum

1 Als nun der König in seinem Hause saß und der HERR ihm Ruhe gegeben hatte vor allen seinen Feinden umher, (5Mo 12,10; Jos 22,4; 1Kön 5,18; 1Chr 17,1)

5Mo 12,10Jos 22,41Kön 5,181Chr 17,1

2 sprach er zu dem Propheten Nathan: Sieh doch, ich wohne in einem Zedernhause, die Lade Gottes aber wohnt unter Zeltdecken. (2Sam 6,17; Ps 132,3) 3 Nathan sprach zu dem König: Wohlan, alles, was in deinem Herzen ist, das tu, denn der HERR ist mit dir. 4 In der Nacht aber kam das Wort des HERRN zu Nathan: 5 Geh hin und sage zu meinem Knecht David: So spricht der HERR: Solltest du mir ein Haus bauen, dass ich darin wohne? (1Kön 5,17; 1Chr 22,8) 6 Habe ich doch in keinem Hause gewohnt seit dem Tag, da ich die Israeliten aus Ägypten führte, bis auf diesen Tag, sondern ich bin umhergezogen in einem Zelt als Wohnung. (1Kön 8,16; 1Kön 8,27; Jes 66,1) 7 Habe ich die ganze Zeit, als ich mit allen Israeliten umherzog, je geredet zu einem der Richter Israels, denen ich befohlen hatte, mein Volk Israel zu weiden, und gesagt: Warum baut ihr mir nicht ein Zedernhaus? 8 Darum sollst du nun so zu meinem Knecht David sagen: So spricht der HERR Zebaoth: Ich habe dich genommen von den Schafhürden, dass du Fürst sein sollst über mein Volk Israel, (1Sam 16,11; 2Sam 5,2; 2Sam 6,21; Ps 78,70; Am 7,15)

1Sam 16,112Sam 5,22Sam 6,21Ps 78,70Am 7,15

9 und bin mit dir gewesen, wo immer du hingegangen bist, und habe alle deine Feinde vor dir ausgerottet; und ich will dir einen großen Namen machen gleich dem Namen der Großen auf Erden. 10 Und ich will meinem Volk Israel eine Stätte geben und will es pflanzen, dass es daselbst wohne und sich nicht mehr ängstigen müsse und die Kinder der Bosheit es nicht mehr bedrängen, wie vormals, (2Mo 15,17) 11 seit der Zeit, da ich Richter über mein Volk Israel bestellt habe. Ich will dir Ruhe geben vor allen deinen Feinden. Und der HERR verkündigt dir, dass der HERR dir ein Haus bauen will. (1Sam 25,28; 1Kön 11,38) 12 Wenn nun deine Zeit um ist und du dich zu deinen Vätern legst, will ich dir einen Nachkommen erwecken, der von deinem Leibe kommen wird; dem will ich sein Königtum bestätigen. (1Kön 2,12; 1Kön 2,46; 1Kön 8,20)

1Kön 2,121Kön 2,461Kön 8,20

13 Der soll meinem Namen ein Haus bauen, und ich will seinen Königsthron bestätigen ewiglich. (1Kön 5,19; 1Kön 8,17; Ps 89,4; Jes 9,6)

1Kön 5,191Kön 8,17Ps 89,4Jes 9,6

14 Ich will sein Vater sein, und er soll mein Sohn sein. Wenn er sündigt, will ich ihn mit Menschenruten und mit menschlichen Schlägen strafen; (Ps 2,7; Ps 89,27; Ps 89,31) 15 aber meine Gnade soll nicht von ihm weichen, wie ich sie habe weichen lassen von Saul, den ich vor dir weggenommen habe. (1Sam 15,23; 1Sam 15,26) 16 Aber dein Haus und dein Königtum sollen beständig sein in Ewigkeit vor dir, und dein Thron soll ewiglich bestehen. (Jes 55,3) 17 Als Nathan alle diese Worte und dieses Gesicht David gesagt hatte, 18 kam der König David und setzte sich vor dem HERRN nieder und sprach: Wer bin ich, Herr HERR, und was ist mein Haus, dass du mich bis hierher gebracht hast? (1Mo 32,11; 2Mo 3,11; 1Sam 18,18) 19 Aber nun hast du das noch für zu wenig gehalten, Herr HERR, und hast dem Hause deines Knechtes sogar für die ferne Zukunft Zusagen gegeben, und das nach Menschenweise, Herr HERR! 20 Und was soll David noch mehr reden mit dir? Du kennst ja deinen Knecht, Herr HERR! 21 Um deines Wortes willen und nach deinem Herzen hast du alle diese großen Dinge getan, dass du sie deinem Knecht kundtust. 22 Darum bist du groß, Herr HERR! Denn es ist keiner wie du, und ist kein Gott außer dir nach allem, was wir mit unsern Ohren gehört haben. (5Mo 4,35; 1Kön 8,23; Jes 44,6) 23 Und wo ist ein Volk auf Erden wie dein Volk Israel, um dessentwillen Gott hingegangen ist, es zu erlösen, dass es sein Volk sei, und ihm einen Namen zu machen und für euch so große und furchtbare Dinge zu tun, Völker und ihre Götter zu vertreiben vor deinem Volk, das du dir aus Ägypten erlöst hast? (5Mo 4,7) 24 Und du hast dir dein Volk Israel zubereitet, dir zum Volk in Ewigkeit, und du, HERR, bist ihr Gott geworden. (2Mo 6,7) 25 So bekräftige nun, HERR, Gott, das Wort in Ewigkeit, das du über deinen Knecht und über sein Haus geredet hast, und tu, wie du geredet hast! 26 So wird dein Name groß werden in Ewigkeit, dass man sagen wird: Der HERR Zebaoth ist Gott über Israel, und das Haus deines Knechtes David wird bestehen vor dir. 27 Denn du, HERR Zebaoth, du Gott Israels, hast das Ohr deines Knechts geöffnet und gesagt: Ich will dir ein Haus bauen. Darum hat dein Knecht sich ein Herz gefasst, dass er dies Gebet zu dir gebetet hat. (Jes 50,5) 28 Nun, Herr HERR, du bist Gott, und deine Worte sind Wahrheit. Du hast all dies Gute deinem Knecht zugesagt. (1Kön 8,26) 29 So fange nun an und segne das Haus deines Knechts, dass es ewiglich vor dir sei; denn du, Herr HERR, hast’s geredet, und mit deinem Segen wird deines Knechtes Haus gesegnet sein ewiglich.

The Lord’s Covenant with David

1 Now when the king lived in his house and the Lord had given him rest from all his surrounding enemies, (Jos 11,23; 1Chr 17,1) 2 the king said to Nathan the prophet, “See now, I dwell in a house of cedar, but the ark of God dwells in a tent.” (2Mo 26,1; 2Sam 5,11; 2Sam 7,17; 2Sam 12,1)

(2Mo 40,18; 2Mo 40,34; 1Kön 8,16) 7 In all places where I have moved with all the people of Israel, did I speak a word with any of the judges^[1] of Israel, whom I commanded to shepherd my people Israel, saying, “Why have you not built me a house of cedar?”’ (3Mo 26,11; 5Mo 23,14; 2Sam 5,2; 1Chr 17,6)

1Sam 18,142Sam 5,102Sam 8,62Sam 8,14

10 And I will appoint a place for my people Israel and will plant them, so that they may dwell in their own place and be disturbed no more. And violent men shall afflict them no more, as formerly, (2Kön 21,8; Ps 44,2; Ps 80,8; Ps 89,22; Jer 24,6; Am 9,15)

David’s Prayer of Gratitude

18 Then King David went in and sat before the Lord and said, “Who am I, O Lord God, and what is my house, that you have brought me thus far? (1Mo 32,10) 19 And yet this was a small thing in your eyes, O Lord God. You have spoken also of your servant’s house for a great while to come, and this is instruction for mankind, O Lord God! (2Sam 7,12; 1Chr 17,17) 20 And what more can David say to you? For you know your servant, O Lord God! (Ps 139,1) 21 Because of your promise, and according to your own heart, you have brought about all this greatness, to make your servant know it. 22 Therefore you are great, O Lord God. For there is none like you, and there is no God besides you, according to all that we have heard with our ears. (2Mo 15,11; 5Mo 3,24; 1Chr 16,25; 2Chr 2,5; Ps 86,8; Ps 89,6; Ps 89,8; Jes 45,5; Jer 10,6)

2Mo 15,115Mo 3,241Chr 16,252Chr 2,5Ps 86,8Ps 89,6Ps 89,8Jes 45,5Jer 10,6

23 And who is like your people Israel, the one nation on earth whom God went to redeem to be his people, making himself a name and doing for them^[4] great and awesome things by driving out before your people,^[5] whom you redeemed for yourself from Egypt, a nation and its gods? (5Mo 4,7; 5Mo 4,34; 5Mo 9,26; 5Mo 10,21; 5Mo 33,29; Neh 1,10; Ps 147,20)

5Mo 4,75Mo 4,345Mo 9,265Mo 10,215Mo 33,29Neh 1,10Ps 147,20

24 And you established for yourself your people Israel to be your people forever. And you, O Lord, became their God. (5Mo 26,18; 2Sam 7,13; 2Sam 7,16; 2Sam 7,26)

5Mo 26,182Sam 7,132Sam 7,162Sam 7,26

25 And now, O Lord God, confirm forever the word that you have spoken concerning your servant and concerning his house, and do as you have spoken. 26 And your name will be magnified forever, saying, ‘The Lord of hosts is God over Israel,’ and the house of your servant David will be established before you. 27 For you, O Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, have made this revelation to your servant, saying, ‘I will build you a house.’ Therefore your servant has found courage to pray this prayer to you. 28 And now, O Lord God, you are God, and your words are true, and you have promised this good thing to your servant. (Joh 17,17) 29 Now therefore may it please you to bless the house of your servant, so that it may continue forever before you. For you, O Lord God, have spoken, and with your blessing shall the house of your servant be blessed forever.” (2Sam 22,51; Ps 89,28)

King James Version

1 And it came to pass, when the king sat in his house, and the LORD had given him rest round about from all his enemies; 2 That the king said unto Nathan the prophet, See now, I dwell in an house of cedar, but the ark of God dwelleth within curtains. 3 And Nathan said to the king, Go, do all that is in thine heart; for the LORD is with thee. 4 And it came to pass that night, that the word of the LORD came unto Nathan, saying, 5 Go and tell my servant David, Thus saith the LORD, Shalt thou build me an house for me to dwell in? 6 Whereas I have not dwelt in any house since the time that I brought up the children of Israel out of Egypt, even to this day, but have walked in a tent and in a tabernacle. 7 In all the places wherein I have walked with all the children of Israel spake I a word with any of the tribes of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people Israel, saying, Why build ye not me an house of cedar? 8 Now therefore so shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I took thee from the sheepcote, from following the sheep, to be ruler over my people, over Israel: 9 And I was with thee whithersoever thou wentest, and have cut off all thine enemies out of thy sight, and have made thee a great name, like unto the name of the great men that are in the earth. 10 Moreover I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own, and move no more; neither shall the children of wickedness afflict them any more, as beforetime, 11 And as since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel, and have caused thee to rest from all thine enemies. Also the LORD telleth thee that he will make thee an house. 12 And when thy days be fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, which shall proceed out of thy bowels, and I will establish his kingdom. 13 He shall build an house for my name, and I will stablish the throne of his kingdom for ever. 14 I will be his father, and he shall be my son. If he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men: 15 But my mercy shall not depart away from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before thee. 16 And thine house and thy kingdom shall be established for ever before thee: thy throne shall be established for ever. 17 According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak unto David. 18 Then went king David in, and sat before the LORD, and he said, Who am I, O Lord GOD? and what is my house, that thou hast brought me hitherto? 19 And this was yet a small thing in thy sight, O Lord GOD; but thou hast spoken also of thy servant' house for a great while to come. And is this the manner of man, O Lord GOD? 20 And what can David say more unto thee? for thou, Lord GOD, knowest thy servant. 21 For thy word' sake, and according to thine own heart, hast thou done all these great things, to make thy servant know them . 22 Wherefore thou art great, O LORD God: for there is none like thee, neither is there any God beside thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears. 23 And what one nation in the earth is like thy people, even like Israel, whom God went to redeem for a people to himself, and to make him a name, and to do for you great things and terrible, for thy land, before thy people, which thou redeemedst to thee from Egypt, from the nations and their gods? 24 For thou hast confirmed to thyself thy people Israel to be a people unto thee for ever: and thou, LORD, art become their God. 25 And now, O LORD God, the word that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant, and concerning his house, establish it for ever, and do as thou hast said. 26 And let thy name be magnified for ever, saying, The LORD of hosts is the God over Israel: and let the house of thy servant David be established before thee. 27 For thou, O LORD of hosts, God of Israel, hast revealed to thy servant, saying, I will build thee an house: therefore hath thy servant found in his heart to pray this prayer unto thee. 28 And now, O Lord GOD, thou art that God, and thy words be true, and thou hast promised this goodness unto thy servant: 29 Therefore now let it please thee to bless the house of thy servant, that it may continue for ever before thee: for thou, O Lord GOD, hast spoken it : and with thy blessing let the house of thy servant be blessed for ever.

God’s promise to David

1 The king moved into his palace. The LORD had given him peace and rest from all his enemies around him. 2 Then the king spoke to Nathan the prophet. He said, ‘Here I am, living in a house that has beautiful cedar walls. But the ark of God remains in a tent.’ 3 Nathan replied to the king, ‘Go ahead and do what you want to. The LORD is with you.’ 4 But that night the word of the LORD came to Nathan. The LORD said, 5 ‘Go and speak to my servant David. Tell him, “The LORD says, ‘Are you the one to build me a house to live in? 6 I brought the Israelites up out of Egypt. But I have not lived in a house from then until now. I have been moving from place to place. I have been living in a tent. 7 I have moved from place to place with all the Israelites. I commanded their rulers to be shepherds over them. I never asked any of those rulers, “Why haven’t you built me a house that has beautiful cedar walls?” ’ ” 8 ‘So tell my servant David, “The LORD who rules over all says, ‘I took you away from the grasslands. That’s where you were taking care of your father’s sheep and goats. I made you ruler over my people Israel. 9 I have been with you everywhere you have gone. I have destroyed all your enemies. Now I will make you famous. Your name will be just as respected as the names of the most important people on earth. 10 I will provide a place where my people Israel can live. I will plant them in the land. Then they will have a home of their own. They will not be bothered anymore. Evil people will no longer crush them, as they did at first. 11 That is what your enemies have done ever since I appointed leaders over my people Israel. But I will give you peace and rest from all of them. ‘ “ ‘I tell you that I, the LORD, will set up a royal house for you. 12 Some day your life will come to an end. You will join the members of your family who have already died. Then I will make one of your own sons the next king after you. And I will make his kingdom secure. 13 He is the one who will build a house where I will put my Name. I will set up the throne of his kingdom. It will last for ever. 14 I will be his father. And he will be my son. When he does what is wrong, I will use other men to beat him with rods and whips. 15 I took my love away from Saul. I removed him from being king. You were there when I did it. But I will never take my love away from your son. 16 Your royal house and your kingdom will last for ever in my sight. Your throne will last for ever.’ ” ’ 17 Nathan reported to David all the words that the LORD had spoken to him.

David’s prayer to the Lord

18 Then King David went into the holy tent. He sat down in front of the LORD. He said, ‘LORD and King, who am I? My family isn’t important. So why have you brought me this far? 19 I would have thought that you had already done more than enough for me. But now, LORD and King, you have also said what will happen to my royal house in days to come. And, my LORD and King, this promise is for a mere human being! 20 ‘What more can I say to you? LORD and King, you know all about me. 21 You have done a wonderful thing. You have made it known to me. You have done it because that’s what you said you would do. It’s exactly what you wanted to do for me. 22 ‘LORD and King, how great you are! There isn’t anyone like you. There isn’t any God but you. We have heard about it with our own ears. 23 Who is like your people Israel? God, we are the one nation on earth you have saved. You have set us free for yourself. Your name has become famous. You have done great and wonderful things. You have driven out nations and their gods to make room for your people. You saved us when you set us free from Egypt. 24 You made Israel your very own people for ever. LORD, you have become our God. 25 ‘And now, LORD God, keep for ever the promise you have made to me and my royal house. Do exactly as you promised. 26 Then your name will be honoured for ever. People will say, “The LORD rules over all. He is God over Israel.” My royal house will be made secure in your sight. 27 ‘LORD who rules over all, you are the God of Israel. Here’s what you have shown me. You told me, “I will build you a royal house.” So I can boldly pray this prayer to you. 28 LORD and King, you are God! Your covenant can be trusted. You have promised many good things to me. 29 Now please bless my royal house. Then it will continue for ever in your sight. LORD and King, you have spoken. Because you have given my royal house your blessing, it will be blessed for ever.’

God’s promise to David

1 After the king was settled in his palace and the Lord had given him rest from all his enemies around him, 2 he said to Nathan the prophet, ‘Here I am, living in a house of cedar, while the ark of God remains in a tent.’ 3 Nathan replied to the king, ‘Whatever you have in mind, go ahead and do it, for the Lord is with you.’ 4 But that night the word of the Lord came to Nathan, saying: 5 ‘Go and tell my servant David, “This is what the Lord says: are you the one to build me a house to dwell in? 6 I have not dwelt in a house from the day I brought the Israelites up out of Egypt to this day. I have been moving from place to place with a tent as my dwelling. 7 Wherever I have moved with all the Israelites, did I ever say to any of their rulers whom I commanded to shepherd my people Israel, ‘Why have you not built me a house of cedar?’ ” 8 ‘Now then, tell my servant David, “This is what the Lord Almighty says: I took you from the pasture, from tending the flock, and appointed you ruler over my people Israel. 9 I have been with you wherever you have gone, and I have cut off all your enemies from before you. Now I will make your name great, like the names of the greatest men on earth. 10 And I will provide a place for my people Israel and will plant them so that they can have a home of their own and no longer be disturbed. Wicked people shall not oppress them anymore, as they did at the beginning 11 and have done ever since the time I appointed leaders^[1] over my people Israel. I will also give you rest from all your enemies. ‘ “The Lord declares to you that the Lord himself will establish a house for you: 12 when your days are over and you rest with your ancestors, I will raise up your offspring to succeed you, your own flesh and blood, and I will establish his kingdom. 13 He is the one who will build a house for my Name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom for ever. 14 I will be his father, and he shall be my son. When he does wrong, I will punish him with a rod wielded by men, with floggings inflicted by human hands. 15 But my love will never be taken away from him, as I took it away from Saul, whom I removed from before you. 16 Your house and your kingdom shall endure for ever before me^[2]; your throne shall be established for ever.” ’ 17 Nathan reported to David all the words of this entire revelation.

David’s prayer

18 Then King David went in and sat before the Lord, and he said: ‘Who am I, Sovereign Lord, and what is my family, that you have brought me this far? 19 And as if this were not enough in your sight, Sovereign Lord, you have also spoken about the future of the house of your servant – and this decree, Sovereign Lord, is for a mere human!^[3] 20 ‘What more can David say to you? For you know your servant, Sovereign Lord. 21 For the sake of your word and according to your will, you have done this great thing and made it known to your servant. 22 ‘How great you are, Sovereign Lord! There is no-one like you, and there is no God but you, as we have heard with our own ears. 23 And who is like your people Israel – the one nation on earth that God went out to redeem as a people for himself, and to make a name for himself, and to perform great and awesome wonders by driving out nations and their gods from before your people, whom you redeemed from Egypt?^[4] (1Chr 17,21) 24 You have established your people Israel as your very own for ever, and you, Lord, have become their God. 25 ‘And now, Lord God, keep for ever the promise you have made concerning your servant and his house. Do as you promised, 26 so that your name will be great for ever. Then people will say, “The Lord Almighty is God over Israel!” And the house of your servant David will be established in your sight. 27 ‘Lord Almighty, God of Israel, you have revealed this to your servant, saying, “I will build a house for you.” So your servant has found courage to pray this prayer to you. 28 Sovereign Lord, you are God! Your covenant is trustworthy, and you have promised these good things to your servant. 29 Now be pleased to bless the house of your servant, that it may continue for ever in your sight; for you, Sovereign Lord, have spoken, and with your blessing the house of your servant will be blessed for ever.’
