1├╚ 17:1 ╬OW IT CAME TO PASS, AS ─AVID SAT IN HIS HOUSE, THAT ─AVID SAID TO ╬ATHAN THE PROPHET, ╠O, ╔ DWELL IN AN HOUSE OF CEDARS, BUT THE ARK OF THE COVENANT OF THE ╠╧╥─ REMAINETH UNDER CURTAINS.
1├╚ 17:2 ╘HEN ╬ATHAN SAID UNTO ─AVID, ─O ALL THAT IS IN THINE HEART; FOR ╟OD IS WITH THEE.
1├╚ 17:3 ┴ND IT CAME TO PASS THE SAME NIGHT, THAT THE WORD OF ╟OD CAME TO ╬ATHAN, SAYING,
1├╚ 17:4 ╟O AND TELL ─AVID MY SERVANT, ╘HUS SAITH THE ╠╧╥─, ╘HOU SHALT NOT BUILD ME AN HOUSE TO DWELL IN:
1├╚ 17:5 ╞OR ╔ HAVE NOT DWELT IN AN HOUSE SINCE THE DAY THAT ╔ BROUGHT UP ╔SRAEL UNTO THIS DAY; BUT HAVE GONE FROM TENT TO TENT, AND FROM ONE TABERNACLE TO ANOTHER.
1├╚ 17:6 ╫HERESOEVER ╔ HAVE WALKED WITH ALL ╔SRAEL, SPAKE ╔ A WORD TO ANY OF THE JUDGES OF ╔SRAEL, WHOM ╔ COMMANDED TO FEED MY PEOPLE, SAYING, ╫HY HAVE YE NOT BUILT ME AN HOUSE OF CEDARS?
1├╚ 17:7 ╬OW THEREFORE THUS SHALT THOU SAY UNTO MY SERVANT ─AVID, ╘HUS SAITH THE ╠╧╥─ OF HOSTS, ╔ TOOK THEE FROM THE SHEEPCOTE, EVEN FROM FOLLOWING THE SHEEP, THAT THOU SHOULDEST BE RULER OVER MY PEOPLE ╔SRAEL:
1├╚ 17:8 ┴ND ╔ HAVE BEEN WITH THEE WHITHERSOEVER THOU HAST WALKED, AND HAVE CUT OFF ALL THINE ENEMIES FROM BEFORE THEE, AND HAVE MADE THEE A NAME LIKE THE NAME OF THE GREAT MEN THAT ARE IN THE EARTH.
1├╚ 17:9 ┴LSO ╔ WILL ORDAIN A PLACE FOR MY PEOPLE ╔SRAEL, AND WILL PLANT THEM, AND THEY SHALL DWELL IN THEIR PLACE, AND SHALL BE MOVED NO MORE; NEITHER SHALL THE CHILDREN OF WICKEDNESS WASTE THEM ANY MORE, AS AT THE BEGINNING,
1├╚ 17:10 ┴ND SINCE THE TIME THAT ╔ COMMANDED JUDGES TO BE OVER MY PEOPLE ╔SRAEL. ═OREOVER ╔ WILL SUBDUE ALL THINE ENEMIES. ╞URTHERMORE ╔ TELL THEE THAT THE ╠╧╥─ WILL BUILD THEE AN HOUSE.
1├╚ 17:11 ┴ND IT SHALL COME TO PASS, WHEN THY DAYS BE EXPIRED THAT THOU MUST GO TO BE WITH THY FATHERS, THAT ╔ WILL RAISE UP THY SEED AFTER THEE, WHICH SHALL BE OF THY SONS; AND ╔ WILL ESTABLISH HIS KINGDOM.
1├╚ 17:12 ╚E SHALL BUILD ME AN HOUSE, AND ╔ WILL STABLISH HIS THRONE FOR EVER.
1├╚ 17:13 ╔ WILL BE HIS FATHER, AND HE SHALL BE MY SON: AND ╔ WILL NOT TAKE MY MERCY AWAY FROM HIM, AS ╔ TOOK IT FROM HIM THAT WAS BEFORE THEE:
1├╚ 17:14 ┬UT ╔ WILL SETTLE HIM IN MINE HOUSE AND IN MY KINGDOM FOR EVER: AND HIS THRONE SHALL BE ESTABLISHED FOR EVERMORE.
1├╚ 17:15 ┴CCORDING TO ALL THESE WORDS, AND ACCORDING TO ALL THIS VISION, SO DID ╬ATHAN SPEAK UNTO ─AVID.
1├╚ 17:16 ┴ND ─AVID THE KING CAME AND SAT BEFORE THE ╠╧╥─, AND SAID, ╫HO AM ╔, ╧ ╠╧╥─ ╟OD, AND WHAT IS MINE HOUSE, THAT THOU HAST BROUGHT ME HITHERTO?
1├╚ 17:17 ┴ND YET THIS WAS A SMALL THING IN THINE EYES, ╧ ╟OD; FOR THOU HAST ALSO SPOKEN OF THY SERVANT'S HOUSE FOR A GREAT WHILE TO COME, AND HAST REGARDED ME ACCORDING TO THE ESTATE OF A MAN OF HIGH DEGREE, ╧ ╠╧╥─ ╟OD.
1├╚ 17:18 ╫HAT CAN ─AVID SPEAK MORE TO THEE FOR THE HONOUR OF THY SERVANT? FOR THOU KNOWEST THY SERVANT.
1├╚ 17:19 ╧ ╠╧╥─, FOR THY SERVANT'S SAKE, AND ACCORDING TO THINE OWN HEART, HAST THOU DONE ALL THIS GREATNESS, IN MAKING KNOWN ALL THESE GREAT THINGS.
1├╚ 17:20 ╧ ╠╧╥─, THERE IS NONE LIKE THEE, NEITHER IS THERE ANY ╟OD BESIDE THEE, ACCORDING TO ALL THAT WE HAVE HEARD WITH OUR EARS.
1├╚ 17:21 ┴ND WHAT ONE NATION IN THE EARTH IS LIKE THY PEOPLE ╔SRAEL, WHOM ╟OD WENT TO REDEEM TO BE HIS OWN PEOPLE, TO MAKE THEE A NAME OF GREATNESS AND TERRIBLENESS, BY DRIVING OUT NATIONS FROM BEFORE THY PEOPLE WHOM THOU HAST REDEEMED OUT OF ┼GYPT?
1├╚ 17:22 ╞OR THY PEOPLE ╔SRAEL DIDST THOU MAKE THINE OWN PEOPLE FOR EVER; AND THOU, ╠╧╥─, BECAMEST THEIR ╟OD.
1├╚ 17:23 ╘HEREFORE NOW, ╠╧╥─, LET THE THING THAT THOU HAST SPOKEN CONCERNING THY SERVANT AND CONCERNING HIS HOUSE BE ESTABLISHED FOR EVER, AND DO AS THOU HAST SAID.
1├╚ 17:24 ╠ET IT EVEN BE ESTABLISHED, THAT THY NAME MAY BE MAGNIFIED FOR EVER, SAYING, ╘HE ╠╧╥─ OF HOSTS IS THE ╟OD OF ╔SRAEL, EVEN A ╟OD TO ╔SRAEL: AND LET THE HOUSE OF ─AVID THY SERVANT BE ESTABLISHED BEFORE THEE.
1├╚ 17:25 ╞OR THOU, ╧ MY ╟OD, HAST TOLD THY SERVANT THAT THOU WILT BUILD HIM AN HOUSE: THEREFORE THY SERVANT HATH FOUND IN HIS HEART TO PRAY BEFORE THEE.
1├╚ 17:26 ┴ND NOW, ╠╧╥─, THOU ART ╟OD, AND HAST PROMISED THIS GOODNESS UNTO THY SERVANT:
1├╚ 17:27 ╬OW THEREFORE LET IT PLEASE THEE TO BLESS THE HOUSE OF THY SERVANT, THAT IT MAY BE BEFORE THEE FOR EVER: FOR THOU BLESSEST, ╧ ╠╧╥─, AND IT SHALL BE BLESSED FOR EVER.
