Context of 1 Chronicles 17:8
6Wherever 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: And 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. 9Also I will ordain a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, and they shall dwell in their place, and shall be moved no more; neither shall the children of wickedness waste them any more, as at the beginning, 10And since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. Moreover I will subdue all thy enemies. Furthermore I tell thee that the LORD will build thee an house.
