New American Standard Bible
4 But in the same night, the word of the Lord came to Nathan, saying, 5 “Go and say to My servant David, ‘This is what the Lord says: “(A)Should you build Me a house for My dwelling? 6 For (B)I have not dwelt in a house since the day I brought up the sons of Israel from Egypt, even to this day; rather, I have been moving about (C)in a tent, that is, in a dwelling place. 7 (D)Wherever I have gone with all the sons of Israel, did I speak a word with one of the tribes of Israel, (E)whom I commanded to shepherd My people Israel, saying, ‘Why have you not built Me a house of cedar?’”’
