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?

1 Chronicles 17:4-6
New International Version
4 “Go and tell my servant David, ‘This is what the Lord says: You(A) are not the one to build me a house to dwell in. 5 I have not dwelt in a house from the day I brought Israel up out of Egypt to this day. I have moved from one tent site to another, from one dwelling place to another. 6 Wherever I have moved with all the Israelites, did I ever say to any of their leaders[a] whom I commanded to shepherd my people, “Why have you not built me a house of cedar?(B)”’
