1 Chronicles 17:3-5

Jubilee Bible 2000

³ And it came to pass the same night that the word of God came to Nathan, saying,

⁴ Go and tell David my slave, Thus hath the LORD said, Thou shalt not build me a house to dwell in,

⁵ for I have not dwelt in a house since the day that I brought up Israel unto this day, but have gone from tent to tent, and from one tabernacle to another.
