1 Chronicles 17:3-5

International Children’s Bible

³ But that night God spoke his word to Nathan. God said, ⁴ “Go and tell my servant David: ‘This is what the Lord says: David, you are not the person to build a house for me to live in. ⁵ From the time I brought Israel out of Egypt until now I have not lived in a house. I have moved from one tent site to another. I have gone from one place to another.
