1 And it will be as David will sit in his house, and David will say to Nathan the prophet, Behold me dwelling in a house of cedars, and the ark of the covenant of Jehovah under curtains.

2 And Nathan will say to David, Do all that is thy heart; for God is with thee.

3 And it will be in that night, and the word of God will be to Nathan, saying,

4 Go and say to David my servant, Thus said Jehovah, Thou shalt not build to me a house to dwell in:

5 For I dwelt not in a house from the day that I brought up Israel even to this day: and I will be from tent to tent, and from a dwelling.
