1 Chronicles 17:3-6

3 But that same night the word of the Lord came to Nathan, 4 “Go and tell my servant David, ‘Thus says the Lord: ^aIt is not you who will build me a house to dwell in. 5 For I have not lived in a house since the day I brought up Israel to this day, ^bbut I have gone from tent to tent and from dwelling to dwelling. 6 In all places where I have moved with all Israel, did I speak a word with any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to shepherd my people, saying, “Why have you not built me a house of cedar?”’
