0:00.0	The reading from the book of 2 Samuel. Now when the king lived in his house, and the Lord had given him rest from all his surrounding enemies, the king said to Nathan the prophet,
0:12.5	See now I dwell in a house of cedar, but the ark of God dwells in a tent. And Nathan said to the king,
0:19.6	Go, do all that is in your heart, for the Lord is with you.
0:23.6	But that same night the word of the Lord came to Nathan. Go and tell my servant David.
0:28.9	Thus says the Lord, would you build me a house to dwell in? I have not lived in a house since the day I brought up the people of Israel from Egypt to this day, but I have been
0:37.8	moving about and a tent for my dwelling. In all places where I have moved with all the people of

0:48.3	Israel saying, Why have you not built me a house of cedar? Now therefore, thus you shall say to my

1:34.0	your fathers, I will raise up your offspring after you, who shall come from your body, and I will

1:45.8	I will be to him a father, and he shall be to me a son. When he commits iniquity, I will discipline
1:51.3	him with the rod of men, with the stripes of the sons of men. But my steadfast love will not
