2 Samuel 7:4-8

⁴But that night the word of the LORD came to Nathan, saying,

⁵“Go and tell My servant David that this is what the LORD says: Are you the one to build for Me a house to dwell in?

⁶For I have not dwelt in a house from the day I brought the Israelites up out of Egypt until this day, but I have moved about with a tent as My dwelling.

⁷In all My journeys with all the Israelites, have I ever asked any of the leaders I appointed to shepherd My people Israel, ‘Why haven’ t you built Me a house of cedar?’

⁸Now then, you are to tell My servant David that this is what the LORD of Hosts says: I took you from the pasture, from following the flock, to be the ruler over My people Israel.
