2 Samuel 7:3-7

3Nathan said to the king, “1Go, do all that is in your mind, for the Lord is with you.”

4But in the same night the word of the Lord came to Nathan, saying, 5“Go and say to My servant David, ‘Thus says the Lord, “2Are you the one who should build Me a house to dwell in? 6For 3I have not dwelt in a house since the day I brought up the sons of Israel from Egypt, even to this day; but I have been moving about 4in a tent, even in a 5tabernacle. 7 6Wherever I have gone with all the sons of Israel, did I speak a word with one of the tribes of Israel, 7which I commanded to shepherd My people Israel, saying, ‘Why have you not built Me a house of cedar?’”’
