Context of 1 Chronicles 17:3
1After David settled in his place, David said to Nathan the prophet, “Look! I am living in a house of cedar, while the Ark of the Covenant of Adonai is under a tent.” 2Then Nathan said to David, “Do all that is in your heart, for God is with you.” But that same night the word of God came to Nathan, saying: 4“Go and tell David My servant, thus says Adonai, ‘You are not to build Me a house in which to dwell. 5For I have not dwelt in a house from the day I brought Israel out to this day. I have gone from tent to tent, and from one dwelling to another.
