1 CHRONICLES 17:7 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“Now therefore thus shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus saith the Lord of hosts, I took thee from the sheepcote, even from following the sheep, that thou shouldest be ruler over my people Israel:”
'Wherever I have moved about among all Israel, did I ever speak a word with any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to shepherd my people, saying, "Why have you not built me a house of cedar?"' — God's rhetorical question emphasizes no previous leader received temple-building commandments. Hebrew 'shophetim' (judges) includes leaders from Joshua through Samuel.
