2 Sam 7:6

7:6 I have not lived in a house. God has accompanied His elect people throughout their wanderings (vv. 6, 7). Not until He has planted them in their place (v. 10) and they enjoy “rest” (v. 11) that exceeds what they already have under David (v. 1) will He allow a permanent house to be built for His name (v. 13).
