2 Samuel 7:5 DBY

³  And Nathan said to the king, Go, do all that is in thy heart; for Jehovah is with thee.

⁴  And it came to pass that night that the word of Jehovah came to Nathan, saying,

⁵  Go and say to my servant, to David, Thus saith Jehovah: Wilt thou build me a house for me to dwell in?

⁶  For I have not dwelt in a house since the day that I brought up the children of Israel out of Egypt, even to this day, but I went about in a tent and in a tabernacle.

⁷  In all my going about with all the children of Israel, did I speak a word with any of the tribes of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people Israel, saying, Why build ye me not a house of cedars?
