2 Samuel 7:5-7

21st Century King James Version

⁵ “Go and tell My servant David, ‘Thus saith the Lord: Shalt thou build Me a house for Me to dwell in?

⁶ For I have not dwelt in any house since the time that I brought up the children of Israel out of Egypt even to this day, but have walked in a tent and in a tabernacle.

⁷ In all the places wherein I have walked with all the children of Israel, spoke I a word with any of the tribes of Israel, whom I commanded to feed My people Israel, saying, “Why build ye not Me a house of cedar?”’
