1 And it comes to pass, when the king sat in his house, and YHWH has given rest to him all around, from all his enemies, 2 that the king says to Nathan the prophet, “Now see, I am dwelling in a house of cedars, but the Ark of God is dwelling in the midst of the curtain.” 3 And Nathan says to the king, “All that [is] in your heart—go, do, for YHWH [is] with you.” 4 And it comes to pass in that night, that the word of YHWH is to Nathan, saying, 5 “Go, and you have said to My servant, to David, Thus said YHWH: Do you build for Me a house for My dwelling in? 6 For I have not dwelt in a house even from the day of My bringing up the sons of Israel out of Egypt, even to this day, and am walking up and down in a tent and in a dwelling place. 7 During all [the time] that I have walked up and down among all the sons of Israel, have I spoken a word with one of the tribes of Israel, which I commanded to feed my people Israel, saying, Why have you not built a house of cedars for Me? 2 Samuel 7:1-7, Literal Standard Version.
