1 Chronicles 17:1
Verse 1 of 27. The 17th of 29 chapters in 1 Chronicles, in History.
1When David was living in his house, David said to Nathan the prophet, “Behold, I live in a cedar house, but the ark of the LORD’s covenant is in a tent.”
2Nathan said to David, “Do all that is in your heart; for God is with you.”
3That same night, the word of God came to Nathan, saying,
4“Go and tell David my servant, ‘The LORD says, “You shall not build me a house to dwell in;
5for I have not lived in a house since the day that I brought up Israel to this day, but have gone from tent to tent, and from one tent to another.
