1 Chronicles 17:6-8

1599 Geneva Bible

⁶ Wherefore I have ^[a]walked with all Israel, spake I one word to any of the Judges of Israel (whom I commanded to feed my people) saying, Why have ye not built me an house of cedar trees?

⁷ Now therefore thus shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus saith the Lord of hosts, I took thee from the sheepcote ^[b]and from following the sheep, that thou shouldest be a prince over my people Israel.

⁸ And I have been with thee whithersoever thou hast walked, and have destroyed all thine enemies out of thy sight, and have ^[c]made thee a name, like the name of the great men that are in the earth.
