⁴ But that night the Lord spoke his word to Nathan. The Lord said, ⁵ “Go and tell my servant David, ‘This is what the Lord says: You are not the person to build a house for me to live in. ⁶ I did not live in a house when I brought the Israelites out of Egypt. I have been moving around all this time with a tent as my home.
