1 Soon after David moved into his new palace, he said to Nathan the prophet, “Look around! I live in a palace made of cedar, but the sacred chest is kept in a tent.”
2 Nathan replied, “The Lord is with you—do what you want.”
3 That night, the Lord told Nathan
4 to go to David and tell him:David, you are my servant, so listen carefully: you are not the one to build a temple for me.
