New American Standard Bible
Chapter 17
1And it came about, when David lived in his house, that David said to Nathan the prophet, 'Look, I am living in a house of cedar, but the ark of the covenant of the Lord is under tent curtains.' 2Then Nathan said to David, 'Do whatever is in your heart, for God is with you.'
3But it happened that same night, that the word of God came to Nathan, saying,
4Go and tell David My servant, ‘This is what the Lord says: 'You shall not build a house for Me to dwell in;
5for I have not dwelt in a house since the day that I brought up Israel to this day, but I have gone from tent to tent and from one dwelling place to another.

3And it came to pass the same night, that the word of God came to Nathan, saying,
4Go and tell David my servant, Thus saith the Lord, Thou shalt not build me an house to dwell in:
