2 Samuel 7:5-7

5 “Go and say to My servant David, ‘This is what the Lord says: “ ^aShould you build Me a house for My dwelling? 6 For ^bI have not dwelt in a house since the day I brought up the sons of Israel from Egypt, even to this day; rather, I have been moving about ^cin a tent, that is, in a dwelling place. 7 ^dWherever I have gone with all the sons of Israel, did I speak a word with one of the tribes of Israel, ^ewhom I commanded to shepherd My people Israel, saying, ‘Why have you not built Me a house of cedar?’”’
