1 Chronicles 17:2 In-Context

1 King David was now living in his palace. One day he sent for the prophet Nathan and said to him, "Here I am living in a house built of cedar, but the Lord's Covenant Box is kept in a tent!"

2 Nathan answered, "Do whatever you have in mind, because God is with you."

3 But that night God said to Nathan,

4 "Go and tell my servant David that I say to him, "You are not the one to build a temple for me to live in.

5 From the time I rescued the people of Israel from Egypt until now I have never lived in a temple; I have always lived in tents and moved from place to place.
