5 Go, tell my servant David: 'This is what the LORD says: Do you really intend to build a house for me to live in? 6 I have not lived in a house from the time I brought the Israelites up from Egypt to the present day. Instead, I was traveling with them and living in a tent. 7 Wherever I moved among all the Israelites, I did not say to any of the leaders whom I appointed to care for my people Israel, |Why have you not built me a house made from cedar?|' 2 Samuel 7:5-7, New English Translation.
