1 CHRONICLES 17:5 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“For I have not dwelt in an house since the day that I brought up Israel unto this day; but have gone from tent to tent, and from one tabernacle to another.”
'Go and tell my servant David: Thus says the LORD: You shall not build a house for me to dwell in' — prohibition is absolute and personal, addressed to David through Nathan. Hebrew 'eved' (servant) is respectful but establishes hierarchy; David serves God's purposes, not vice versa.
