2 Samuel 7:5-7
International Standard Version
5 “Go tell my servant David, ‘This is what the Lord says:
“‘“Are you going to build a house[a] for me to inhabit? 6 After all, I haven’t lived in a house since the day I brought up the Israelis from Egypt until now. Instead, I’ve moved around in a tent that served as my[b] dwelling place. 7 Wherever I moved among the Israelis, did I ever ask even one tribal leader[c] of Israel whom I commanded to shepherd my people Israel, ‘Why haven’t you built me a cedar house?’
