4That same night, Yahweh’s word came to Nathan, saying,
5“Go and tell my servant David, ‘Yahweh says, “Should you build me a house for me to dwell in?
6For I have not lived in a house since the day that I brought the children of Israel up out of Egypt, even to this day, but have moved around in a tent and in a tabernacle.
7In all places in which I have walked with all the children of Israel)), did I say a word to any of the tribes of Israel, whom I commanded to be shepherd of my people Israel, saying, ‘Why have you not built me a house of cedar?’ ” ’
