DIVRE HAYAMIM ALEF - FIRST CHRONICLES
17 Now it came to pass, as Dawid sat in his bayit, that
Dawid said to Natan the navi, See, I dwell in a bayit of
cedars, but the Ark of the Testimony of vuvh remains
under curtains.
2 Then Natan said to Dawid, Do all that is in your lev; for
Elohim is with you.
3 And it came to pass the same night, that the word of
Elohim came to Natan, saying,
4 Go and tell Dawid My eved, This says vuvh, You shall
not build Me a bayit to dwell in:
5 For I have not dwelt in a bayit since the day that I
brought up Yisrael even until this day; but have gone
from tent to tent, and from one tabernacle to another.
6 Wherever I have walked with kol Yisrael, did I ever
speak a word to any of the shophtim of Yisrael, whom I
commanded to feed My people, saying, Why have you not
built Me a bayit of cedars?
7 Now therefore this shall you say to My eved Dawid,
This says vuvh tzevaoth, I took you from the sheepfold,
even from following the sheep, that you should be ruler
over My people Yisrael:
8 And I have been with you wherever you have walked,
and have cut off all your enemies from before you, and
have made you a name like the name of the great men that
are in the earth.
9 Also I will ordain a place for My people Yisrael, and
will plant them, and they shall dwell in their place, and
shall be moved no more; neither shall the children
of wickedness ruin them any more, as in the
4229 4230
beginning,
10 And since the time that I commanded shophtim to be
over My people Yisrael. Moreover I will subdue all your
enemies. Furthermore I tell you that vuvh will build you a
bayit.
11 And it shall come to pass, when your days are expired
that you must go to be with your ahvot, that I will raise up
your zera after you, which shall be from your sons; and I
will establish his malchut.
12 He shall build Me a bayit, and I will establish his kesay
le-olam-va-ed.
13 I will be His abba, and He shall be My Son: 4231 and I
will not take My rachamim away from Him, as I took it
from him that was before you:
14 But I will settle Him in My bayit and in My malchut
le-olam-va-ed: and His kesay shall be established
le-olam-va-ed.
15 According to all these words, and according to all this
vision, so did Natan speak to Dawid.
16 And Dawid the melech came and sat before vuvh, and
said, Who am I, O vuvh Elohim, and what is my bayit,
that You have brought me this far?
17 And yet this was a small thing in Your eyes, O
Elohim; for You have also spoken of Your eved’s bayit
for a great while to come, and have regarded me
according to the position of a man of exalted position, O
vuvh Elohim.
18 What can Dawid speak more to You for the honor of
Your eved? For You know Your eved.
19 O vuvh, for Your eved’s sake, and according to Your
own lev, have You done all this greatness, in making
known all these great things.
20 O vuvh, there is none like You, neither is there any
Elohim beside You, according to all that we have heard
- 554 -
with our ears.
21 And what one nation in the earth is like Your people
Yisrael, whom Elohim went to redeem to be His own
people, to make Yourself a Name of greatness and
awesomeness, by driving out the nations from before
Your people, whom You have redeemed out of
Mitzrayim? 4232
22 For Your people Yisrael did You make Your own
people le-olam-va-ed; and You, vuvh, became their
Elohim. 4233
23 Therefore now, vuvh, let the thing that You have
spoken concerning Your eved and concerning his bayit be
established le-olam-va-ed, and do as You have said.
24 Let it even be established, that Your Name may be
magnified le-olam-va-ed, 4234 saying, vuvh tzevaoth is the
Elohim of Yisrael, even an Elohim to Yisrael: and let the
bayit of Dawid Your eved be established before You.
25 For You, O my Elohim, have told Your eved that You
will build him a bayit: therefore Your eved has found it in
his lev to make tefillah before You.
26 And now, vuvh, You are Elohim, and have promised
this tov to Your eved:
27 Now therefore let it please You to bless the bayit of
Your eved, that it may be before You le-olam-va-ed: for
You blessed it, O vuvh, and it shall be blessed
le-olam-va-ed.

Now after this it came to pass, that Dawid killed the
Plishtim, and subdued them, and took Gat and its towns
out of the hand of the Plishtim.
2 And he killed Moav; and the Moavites became Dawid’s
avadim, and brought gifts.
3 And Dawid killed Hadadezer melech of Tzovah to
Hamath, as he went to establish his dominion by the
River Euphrates.
4 And Dawid took from him a thousand mirkavot, and
seven thousand horsemen, and twenty thousand footmen:
Dawid also hamstrung all the mirkavah horses, but left
from them a hundred mirkavot.
5 And when the Arameans of Dameshek came to help
Hadadezer melech of Tzovah, Dawid killed of the
Arameans twenty two thousand men.
6 Then Dawid put watch-posts in Aram of Dameshek;
and the Arameans became Dawid’s avadim, and brought
gifts. So vuvh preserved Dawid wherever he went.
7 And Dawid took the shields of gold that were on the
avadim of Hadadezer, and brought them to
Yahrushalayim.
8 Likewise from Tivhath, and from Chun, cities of
Hadadezer, Dawid brought very much bronze, with which
Shlomo made the bronze basin, and the pillars, and the
vessels of bronze.
9 Now when Tou melech of Hamath heard how Dawid
had killed all the army of Hadadezer melech of Tzovah;
10 He sent Hadoram his son to melech Dawid, to inquire
of his welfare, and to congratulate him, because he had
fought against Hadadezer, and killed him – for Hadadezer
had war with Tou – and with him all manner of vessels of
gold and silver and bronze.
11 Them also melech Dawid set-apart to vuvh, with the
silver and the gold that he brought from all these nations;
from Edom, and from Moav, and from the children of
Ammon, and from the Plishtim, and from Amalek.
