^35 (A)And I will raise up for myself a faithful priest, who shall do according to what is in my heart and in my mind. ^(B)And I will build him a sure house, and he shall go in and out before ^(C)my anointed forever.

^11 (A)from the time that I appointed judges over my people Israel. And ^(B)I will give you rest from all your enemies. Moreover, the Lord declares to you that ^(C)the Lord will make you a house.

²⁷ For you, O Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, have made this revelation to your servant, saying, ‘I will build you a house.’ Therefore your servant has found courage to pray this prayer to you.

²⁴ Now therefore ^(A)as the Lord lives, who has established me and placed me on the throne of David my father, and who has made me a house, ^(B)as he promised, Adonijah shall be put to death today.”

³⁸ And if you will listen to all that I command you, and will walk in my ways, and do what is right in my eyes by keeping my statutes and my commandments, as David my servant did, ^(A)I will be with you and ^(B)will build you a sure house, as I built for David, and I will give Israel to you.

Unless the Lord Builds the House
