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. 6 In all that I went about in all Israel, spake I the word with one of the judges of Israel that I commanded to feed my people, saying, Wherefore built ye not to me a house of cedars. 7 And now, thus shalt thou say to my servant, to David, Thus said Jehovah of armies, I took thee from the dwelling from behind the flocks to be leader over my people Israel: 8 And I will be with thee in all which thou walkedst, and I will cut off all thine enemies from thy face, and I made to thee a name as the name of the great ones which are in the earth. 1 Chronicles 17:1-8, Smith's Literal Translation.
