2 Samuel 7:1-9

1 It happened, when the king lived in his house, and the LORD had given him rest from all his enemies round about,
2 that the king said to Natan the prophet, See now, I dwell in a house of cedar, but the ark of God dwells within curtains.
3 Natan said to the king, Go, do all that is in your heart; for the LORD is with you.
4 It happened the same night, that the word of the LORD came to Natan, saying,
5 Go and tell my servant David, Thus says the LORD, Shall you build me a house for me to dwell in?
6 for I have not lived in a house since the day that I brought up the children of Yisra'el out of Mitzrayim, even to this day, but have walked in a tent and in a tent.
7 In all places in which I have walked with all the children of Yisra'el, spoke I a word with any of the tribes of Yisra'el, whom I commanded to be shepherd of my people Yisra'el, saying, Why have you not built me a house of cedar?
8 Now therefore thus shall you tell my servant David, Thus says the LORD of Hosts, I took you from the sheep pen, from following the sheep, that you should be prince over my people, over Yisra'el;
9 and I have been with you wherever you went, and have cut off all your enemies from before you; and I will make you a great name, like the name of the great ones who are in the eretz.
