1 Chronicles 17:4-6

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

⁴ Go, and speak to David my servant: Thus saith the Lord: Thou shalt not build me a house to dwell in.

⁵ For I have not remained in a house from the time that I brought up Israel, to this day: but I have been always changing places in a tabernacle, and in a tent,

⁶ Abiding with all Israel. Did I ever speak to any one, of all the judges of Israel, whom I charged to feed my people, saying: Why have you not built me a house of cedar?
