2 Samuel 7:3-7

3Nathan replied to the king, “Go ahead and do whatever you have in mind, for the Lord is with you.”

5“Go and tell my servant David, ‘This is what the Lord has declared: Are you the one to build a house for me to live in?

6I have never lived in a house, from the day I brought the Israelites out of Egypt until this very day. I have always moved from one place to another with a tent and a Tabernacle as my dwelling.

7Yet no matter where I have gone with the Israelites, I have never once complained to Israel’s tribal leaders, the shepherds of my people Israel. I have never asked them, “Why haven’t you built me a beautiful cedar house?”’
