1 Crônicas 17

XVII.

1. David, desiring to build a house for God, receives from Nathan a Divine promise of perpetual dominion (1 Crônicas 17:1). 2. His prayer (1 Crônicas 17:16). This section is a duplicate of 2 Samuel 7. The differences are mostly verbal rather than essential, and are due, as usual, to a natural tendency to interpret and simplify archaisms and obscurities in the original narrative.
