THE MESSAGE
But that night, the word of God came to Nathan, saying, "Go and tell my servant David, This is God 's word on the matter: You will not build me a ‘house' to live in. Why, I haven't lived in a ‘house' from the time I brought up the children of Israel from Egypt till now; I've gone from one tent and makeshift shelter to another. In all my travels with all Israel, did I ever say to any of the leaders I commanded to shepherd Israel, ‘Why haven't you built me a house of cedar?'
New American Standard Bible (1995)
It came about the same night that the word of God came to Nathan, saying,

Contextual Overview

1 And it came to pass, when David had taken up his abode in his house, that David said unto Nathan the prophet, Lo! I, am dwelling in a house of cedars, but, the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, is under curtains. 2 Then said Nathan unto David, All that is in thy heart, do, - for, God, is with thee. 3 But so it was that, in that night, the word of God came unto Nathan, saying: 4 Go and say unto David my servant, Thus, saith Yahweh, - Thou, shalt not build me a house, to dwell in; 5 seeing that I have not dwelt in a house, since the day that I brought up Israel, until this day, - but have been from tent to tent, and without a habitation. 6 Wheresoever I have wandered with all Israel, spake I ever, a word, with one of the judges of Israel, whom I charged to shepherd my people, saying, - Wherefore have ye not built me a house of cedars? 7 Now, therefore, thus, shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, I myself, took thee from the pasture, from after the flock, - to become leader over my people Israel; 8 and was with thee whithersoever thou didst go, and have out off all thine enemies, from before thee, - and will make thee a name, like the name of the great ones, who are in the earth; 9 and will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, and they shall inhabit their place, and be unsettled no more, - neither shall the sons of perversity again wear them out, as at the first; 10 even from the days when I put judges in charge over my people Israel, and have subdued all thine enemies, - that I might make thee great, yea, a house, will Yahweh build for thee.
