2 Samuel 7:5-7

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁵ “Say to my servant David, ‘This is what the Lord says: Are you the one who will build me a house to live in? ⁶ I haven’t lived in a house from the day I took Israel out of Egypt to this day. Instead, I moved around in a tent, the tent ⌞of meeting⌟. ⁷ In all the places I’ve moved with all the Israelites, did I ever ask any of the judges ^[a] of Israel whom I ordered to be shepherds of my people Israel why they didn’t build me a house of cedar?’
