1 Chronicles 17:4-6

Jubilee Bible 2000

⁴ Go and tell David my slave, Thus hath the LORD said, 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 unto this day, but have gone from tent to tent, and from one tabernacle to another.

⁶ Wherever I have walked with all Israel, did I speak a word to any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people, saying, Why have ye not built me a house of cedars?
