1 Chronicles 17:1-5
God’s Covenant with David
1 (A)And it came about, when David dwelt in his house, that David said to Nathan the prophet, “Behold, I am dwelling in a house of cedar, but the ark of the covenant of the Lord is under curtains.”
2 Then Nathan said to David, “Do all that is in your heart, for God is with you.”
3 It came about the same night that the word of God came to Nathan, saying,
4 “Go and tell David My servant, ‘Thus says the Lord, “(B)You shall not build a house for Me to dwell in;
5 for I have not dwelt in a house since the day that I brought up Israel to this day, (C)but I have (a)gone from tent to tent and from one dwelling place to another.
