1 Chronicles 17:4 In-Context

2 Nathan told David, "Do everything you have in mind, because God is with you."
3 But that same night God spoke his word to Nathan:
4 "Say to David, my servant, 'This is what the LORD says: You must not build this house for me to live in.
5 I haven't lived in a house from the day I brought Israel out [of Egypt] to this day, but I've gone from tent site to tent site, moving the tent [of meeting] from one location [to another].
6 In all the places I've moved with all Israel, did I ever ask any of the judges of Israel whom I ordered to be shepherds of my people why they didn't build me a house of cedar?'
