2 Samuel 7:4

4 But that same night the word of ADONAI came to Natan:

2 Samuel 7:4 In-Context

2 the king said to Natan the prophet, "Here, I'm living in a cedar-wood palace; but the ark of God is kept in a tent!"
3 Natan said to the king, "Go, do everything that is in your heart, for ADONAI is with you."
4 But that same night the word of ADONAI came to Natan:
5 "Go and tell my servant David that this is what ADONAI says: 'You are going to build me a house to live in?
6 Since the day I brought the people of Isra'el out of Egypt until today, I never lived in a house; rather, I traveled in a tent and a tabernacle.
