Context Reading
3Nathan said to the king, “Go, do all that is in your heart, for Yahweh is with you.” 4That same night, Yahweh’s word came to Nathan, saying, 5“Go and tell my servant David, ‘Yahweh says, “Should you build me a house for me to dwell in? 6For I have not lived in a house since the day that I brought the children of Israel up out of Egypt, even to this day, but have moved around in a tent and in a tabernacle. 7In all places in which I have walked with all the children of Israel, did I say a word to anyone from the tribes of Israel whom I commanded to be shepherd of my people Israel, saying, ‘Why have you not built me a house of cedar?’”’
