1 Chronicles 17:5-10

Thomson(i) 5 Because I have not dwelt in a house from the day I brought up Israel even to this day, but have been in a tent and under a curtain 6 in all the places, through which passed among Israel, did I ever speak to any tribe of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people, and say, Why have you not built for me a house of cedar? 7 But now, Thus shalt thou say to my servant David, Thus saith the Lord Almighty, I took thee from the fold; from following the flocks, to be ruler over my people Israel, 8 and have been with thee wherever thou hast gone, and have cut off all thy enemies from before thee, and made thee a name like the name of the great men on the earth; 9 and I will fix a place for my people Israel, and plant them, and they shall dwell by themselves and no more be in trouble, nor shall a son of iniquity any more humble them as at the first, 10 even from the time I appointed judges over my people Israel. I have indeed subdued all thy enemies, and I will increase thee and the Lord will build thee a house.
