    2 Samuel 7
    •   And it came to pass, when the king sat in his house, and the LORD had given him rest round about from all his enemies;
    •   That the king said to Nathan the prophet, See now, I dwell in an house of cedar, but the ark of God dwells within curtains.
    •   And Nathan said to the king, Go, do all that is in your heart; for the LORD is with you.
    •   And it came to pass that night, that the word of the LORD came to Nathan, saying,
    •   Go and tell my servant David, Thus says the LORD, Shall you build me an house for me to dwell in?
    •   Whereas I have not dwelled in any house since the time that I brought up the children of Israel out of Egypt, even to this day, but have walked in a tent and in a tabernacle.
    •   In all the places wherein I have walked with all the children of Israel spoke I a word with any of the tribes of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people Israel, saying, Why build you not me an house of cedar?
    •   Now therefore so shall you say to my servant David, Thus says the LORD of hosts, I took you from the sheepcote, from following the sheep, to be ruler over my people, over Israel:
    •   And I was with you wherever you went, and have cut off all your enemies out of your sight, and have made you a great name, like to the name of the great men that are in the earth.
    • 10   Moreover I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in a place of their own, and move no more; neither shall the children of wickedness afflict them any more, as beforetime,
    • 11   And as since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel, and have caused you to rest from all your enemies. Also the LORD tells you that he will make you an house.
    • 12   And when your days be fulfilled, and you shall sleep with your fathers, I will set up your seed after you, which shall proceed out of your bowels, and I will establish his kingdom.
    • 13   He shall build an house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom for ever.
    • 14   I will be his father, and he shall be my son. If he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men:
    • 15   But my mercy shall not depart away from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before you.
    • 16   And your house and your kingdom shall be established for ever before you: your throne shall be established for ever.
    • 17   According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak to David.
    • 18   Then went king David in, and sat before the LORD, and he said, Who am I, O Lord GOD? and what is my house, that you have brought me till now?
    • 19   And this was yet a small thing in your sight, O Lord GOD; but you have spoken also of your servant's house for a great while to come. And is this the manner of man, O Lord GOD?
    • 20   And what can David say more to you? for you, Lord GOD, know your servant.
    • 21   For your word's sake, and according to your own heart, have you done all these great things, to make your servant know them.
    • 22   Why you are great, O LORD God: for there is none like you, neither is there any God beside you, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
    • 23   And what one nation in the earth is like your people, even like Israel, whom God went to redeem for a people to himself, and to make him a name, and to do for you great things and terrible, for your land, before your people, which you redeemed to you from Egypt, from the nations and their gods?
    • 24   For you have confirmed to yourself your people Israel to be a people to you for ever: and you, LORD, are become their God.
    • 25   And now, O LORD God, the word that you have spoken concerning your servant, and concerning his house, establish it for ever, and do as you have said.
    • 26   And let your name be magnified for ever, saying, The LORD of hosts is the God over Israel: and let the house of your servant David be established before you.
    • 27   For you, O LORD of hosts, God of Israel, have revealed to your servant, saying, I will build you an house: therefore has your servant found in his heart to pray this prayer to you.
    • 28   And now, O Lord GOD, you are that God, and your words be true, and you have promised this goodness to your servant:
    • 29   Therefore now let it please you to bless the house of your servant, that it may continue for ever before you: for you, O Lord GOD, have spoken it: and with your blessing let the house of your servant be blessed for ever.
    •   And it came to pass, when the king sat in his house, and the LORD had given him rest round about from all his enemies;
    •   That the king said to Nathan the prophet, See now, I dwell in an house of cedar, but the ark of God dwells within curtains.
    •   And Nathan said to the king, Go, do all that is in your heart; for the LORD is with you.
    •   And it came to pass that night, that the word of the LORD came to Nathan, saying,

    American King James Version
    Produced by Stone Engelbrite

    This is a new translation of the Bible, based on the original King James Version. It is a simple word for word update from the King James English. I have taken care to change nothing doctrinely, but to simply update the spelling and vocabulary. I have not changed the grammar because that could alter it doctrinely.

    I am hereby putting the American King James version of the Bible into the public domain on November 8, 1999.

Basic Hash Usage Explained

At getBible, we've established a robust system to keep our API synchronized with the Crosswire project's modules. Let me explain how this integration works in simple terms.

We source our Bible text directly from the Crosswire modules. To monitor any updates, we generate "hash values" for each chapter, book, and translation. These hash values serve as unique identifiers that change only when the underlying content changes, thereby ensuring a tight integration between getBible and the Crosswire modules.

Every month, an automated process runs for approximately three hours. During this window, we fetch the latest Bible text from the Crosswire modules. Subsequently, we compare the new hash values and the text with the previous ones. Any detected changes trigger updates to both our official getBible hash repository and the Bible API for all affected translations. This system has been operating seamlessly for several years.

Once the updates are complete, any application utilizing our Bible API should monitor the hash values at the chapter, book, or translation level. Spotting a change in these values indicates that they should update their respective systems.

Hash values can change due to various reasons, including textual corrections like adding omitted verses, rectifying spelling errors, or addressing any discrepancies flagged by the publishers maintaining the modules at Crosswire.

The Crosswire initiative, also known as the SWORD Project, is the "source of truth" for getBible. Any modifications in the Crosswire modules get reflected in our API within days, ensuring our users access the most precise and current Bible text. We pledge to uphold this standard as long as getBible exists and our build scripts remain operational.

We're united in our mission to preserve the integrity and authenticity of the Bible text. If you have questions or require additional information, please use our support system. We're here to assist and will respond promptly.

Thank you for your understanding and for being an integral part of the getBible community.
