2 Samuel 7:5-7

Holman Christian Standard Bible

⁵ “Go to My servant David and say, ‘This is what the Lord says: Are you to build a house for Me to live in?^{(A) 6} From the time I brought the Israelites out of Egypt until today I have not lived in a house; instead, I have been moving around with a tent as My dwelling.^{(B) 7} In all My journeys with all the Israelites, have I ever asked anyone among the tribes of Israel, whom I commanded to shepherd My people Israel: Why haven’t you built Me a house of cedar?’
