1 Chronicles 17:4 In-Context

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.
6 Wherever I have walked with all Israel, did I speak a word to any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people, saying, Why have ye not built me a house of cedars?
