* "
Go and tell My servant David , "
Thus says the LORD : "
You shall not build Me a house to dwell in .
*
For I have not dwelt in a house since the time that I brought up Israel ,
even to this day ,
but have gone from tent to tent ,
and from one tabernacle to another .
*
Wherever I have moved about with all Israel ,
have I ever spoken a word to any of the judges of Israel ,
whom I commanded to shepherd My people ,
saying , "
Why have you not built Me a house of cedar ?""
*
Now therefore ,
thus shall you say to My servant David , "
Thus says the LORD of hosts : "
I took you from the sheepfold ,
from following the sheep ,
to be ruler over My people Israel .
*
And I have been with you wherever you have gone ,
and have cut off all your enemies from before you ,
and have made you a name like the name of the great men who are on the earth .
*
Moreover I will appoint a place for My people Israel ,
and will plant them ,
that they may dwell in a place of their own and move no more ;
nor shall the sons of wickedness oppress them anymore ,
as previously ,
*
since the time that I commanded judges to be over My people Israel .
Also I will subdue all your enemies .
Furthermore I tell you that the LORD will build you a house .
