2 And Nathan replied to David, “Do all that is in your heart, for God is with you.”
3 But that night the word of God came to Nathan, saying,
4 “Go and tell My servant David that this is what the LORD says: You are not the one to build Me a house in which to dwell.
5 For I have not dwelt in a house from the day I brought Israel up out of Egypt until this day, but I have moved from tent to tent and dwelling to dwelling.
6 In all My journeys with all the Israelites, have I ever asked any of the leaders I appointed to shepherd My people, ‘Why haven’t you built Me a house of cedar?’
7 Now 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.
