1 Chronicles 17:4-6

Darby Translation

⁴ Go and say to David my servant, Thus saith Jehovah: Thou shalt not build me a house to dwell in;

⁵ for I have not dwelt in a house since the day that I brought up Israel to this day; but I have been from tent to tent, and from [one] tabernacle [to another].

⁶ In all my going about with all Israel, did I speak a word to any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people, saying, Why build ye me not a house of cedars?
