4But that same night the word of the Lord came to Nathan, 5“Go and tell my servant David, ‘Thus says the Lord: aWould you build me a house to dwell in? 6I have not lived in a house bsince the day I brought up the people of Israel from Egypt to this day, but I have been moving about cin a tent for my dwelling. 7In all places where dI have moved with all the people of Israel, did I speak a word with eany of the judges ▼
▼Compare 1 Chronicles 17:6; Hebrew tribes
 of Israel, whom I commanded gto shepherd my people Israel, saying, “Why have you not built me a house of cedar?”’
