1 Chronicles 17:6

4 “Go and tell My servant David, ‘Thus says the Lord: “You shall ^anot build Me a house to dwell in.

5 For I have not dwelt in a house since the time that I brought up Israel, even to this day, but have gone from tent to tent, and from one tabernacle to another.

6 Wherever I have moved about with all Israel, have I ever spoken a word to any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to shepherd My people, saying, ‘Why have you not built Me a house of cedar–’ ” ’

7 Now therefore, thus shall you say to My servant David, ‘Thus says the Lord of hosts: “I took you ^afrom the sheepfold, from following the sheep, to be¹ ruler over My people Israel.

8 And I have been with you wherever you have gone, and have cut off all your enemies from before you, and have¹ made you a name like the name of the great men who are on the earth.
