1 Chronicles 17:6-8

Expanded Bible

⁶ As I have ·moved [walked] with the Israelites to different places, ·I have never [^Lhave I ever…?] said to the ·leaders [^Ljudges of Israel], whom I commanded to ·take care of [shepherd] my people, “Why haven’t you built me a house of cedar?” ’

⁷ “Now, tell my servant David: ‘This is what the Lord ·All-Powerful [of Heaven’s Armies; ^Tof hosts] says: I took you from the pasture and from ·tending [following] the sheep and made you ·king [ruler; leader] of my people Israel. ⁸ I have been with you everywhere you have gone. I have ·defeated [destroyed; ^Lcut off] your enemies for you. I will make you ·as famous as any of [^La name like the name of] the great people on the earth.
