1 Chronicles 17:1-5
The Lord s Covenant with David
1 When David(A) had settled into his palace, he said to Nathan the prophet, “Look! I am living in a cedar house while the ark of the Lord’s covenant is under tent curtains.”(B)
3 But that night(C) the word of God came to Nathan:
4 “Go to David My servant and say, ‘This is what the Lord says: You are not the one to build Me a house to dwell in.(D)
5 From the time I brought Israel out of Egypt until today I have not lived in a house; instead, I have moved from tent to tent and from tabernacle to tabernacle.(E)
