Chapter 7
1Now it came about, when the king lived in his house, and the Lord had given him rest on every side from all his enemies, 2that the king said to Nathan the prophet, 'See now, I live in a house of cedar, but the ark of God remains within the tent.' 3Nathan said to the king, 'Go, do all that is in your mind, for the Lord is with you.'
4But in the same night, the word of the Lord came to Nathan, saying,
5Go and say to My servant David, ‘This is what the Lord says: 'Should you build Me a house for My dwelling?
6For I have not dwelt in a house since the day I brought up the sons of Israel from Egypt, even to this day; rather, I have been moving about in a tent, that is, in a dwelling place.
