2 Samuel 7:5-7

Revised Geneva Translation

⁵ “Go and tell my servant, David, “Thus says the LORD: ‘Shall you build Me a house for My dwelling?

⁶ ‘For I have dwelt in no house since the time that I brought the children of Israel out of Egypt until this day but have moved about in a Tent and Tabernacle.

⁷ ‘In every place I have moved about with all the children of Israel, have I ever spoken one word with any of the tribes of Israel, whom I Commanded to feed My people Israel, saying, “Why did you not build Me a house of cedar trees?”’
