1And it came to pass, when the king sat in his house, and the Lord had given him rest round about from all his enemies;[ † ]1 Samuel 15:35Isaiah 22:14 2that the king said unto Nathan the prophet, See now, I dwell in an house of cedar, but the ark of God dwelleth within curtains.[ † ]1 Chronicles 17:1-272 Samuel 5:11Acts 7:46 3And Nathan said to the king, Go, do all that is in thine heart; for the Lord is with thee.[ † ]Exodus 26:1
