Context of 1 Chronicles 17:6
4Go and tell David my servant, Thus saith the LORD, Thou shalt not build me an house to dwell in: 5For I have not dwelt in an house since the day that I brought up Israel to this day; but have gone from tent to tent, and from one tabernacle to another . Wherever I have walked with all Israel, have I spoken a word to any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people, saying, Why have ye not built me an house of cedars? 7Now therefore thus shalt thou say to my servant David, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, I took thee from the sheepfold, even from following the sheep, that thou shouldest be ruler over my people Israel: 8And I have been with thee wherever thou hast walked, and have cut off all thy enemies from before thee, and have made thee a name like the name of the great men that are in the earth.

- Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 66. spake I a word to any of the judges--In 2Sa 7:7 it is "any of the tribes" of Israel. Both are included. But the judges "who were commanded to feed the people," form the more suitable antithesis to David. Why have ye not built me an house of cedars?--that is, a solid and magnificent temple.Read the comment
