This is a biblical text presenting 2 Samuel 7 in a parallel format across three versions: the King James Version (KJV) with Strong's concordance numbers, the Septuagint (LXX) in Greek, and the Tanakh (Hebrew Masoretic Text). The passage contains the Davidic Covenant, in which the prophet Nathan first encourages David's desire to build a permanent temple for God, then receives a divine reversal: God instead promises that David's descendant will build the temple, and that David's dynasty will endure forever. God reviews his faithfulness to David—raising him from shepherd to king, defeating his enemies—and promises to be a father to David's heir, disciplining but never abandoning him. The text then shifts to David's prayer of humble gratitude, in which he acknowledges God's incomparable greatness and Israel's unique election before petitioning for the fulfillment of the dynastic promise. The distinctive feature of this presentation is its trilingual synoptic layout, making it a scholarly or liturgical study resource that allows direct comparison of the Hebrew source, its Greek translation, and the English KJV—with Strong's numbers in the KJV column enabling word-level cross-referencing to the original Hebrew lexicon.
