1 Chronicles 17:4-6

Modern English Version

⁴ Go and tell David My servant: Thus says the Lord: You will not build a house for Me to dwell in, ⁵ for I have not dwelt in a house since the day when I brought Israel up even until this day, but I have gone from tent to tent and from tabernacle to tabernacle. ⁶ Wherever I have gone in all Israel, have I ever spoken a word to the any of the judges of Israel that I commanded to shepherd My people, saying, Why have you not built Me a house of cedar?
