1 Chronicles 17:6

6 Wherever I have moved about among all Israel, did I ever speak a word with any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to shepherd my people, saying, Why have you not built me a house of cedar?

1 Chronicles 17:6 In-Context

4 Go and tell my servant David: Thus says the Lord: You shall not build me a house to live in.
5 For I have not lived in a house since the day I brought out Israel to this very day, but I have lived in a tent and a tabernacle.
6 Wherever I have moved about among all Israel, did I ever speak a word with any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to shepherd my people, saying, Why have you not built me a house of cedar?
7 Now therefore thus you shall say to my servant David: Thus says the Lord of hosts: I took you from the pasture, from following the sheep, to be ruler over my people Israel;
8 and I have been with you wherever you went, and have cut off all your enemies before you; and I will make for you a name, like the name of the great ones of the earth.
