3And Nathan sayde to the King, Go, doe all that is in thine heart: for the Lord is with thee. 4¶ And it came to passe that night, that the word of the Lord came vnto Nathan, saying; 5Goe and tell my seruant Dauid, Thus sayth the Lord, Shalt thou build me an house for me to dwell in? 6Whereas I haue not dwelt in any house, since the time that I brought vp the children of Israel out of Egypt, euen to this day, but haue walked in a tent and in a tabernacle. 7In all the places wherein I haue walked with all the children of Israel, spake I a word with any of the tribes of Israel, whome I commanded to feede my people Israel, saying, Why build ye not me an house of Cedar?
