1 Chronicles 17:6

6 Wherever I moved throughout Israel, I did not say ^{▼▼ In the Hebrew text the statement is phrased as a rhetorical question (“Did I say?”) meaning “I did not say.”} to any of the leaders whom I appointed to care for my people Israel, ^{▼▼ Heb “to one of the judges of Israel whom I commanded to shepherd my people.”} ‘Why have you not built me a house made from cedar?’”’
