2 Samuel 7:4

Then Yahweh sent Nathan to David. And he came to him and said, “There were two men in one city, the one rich and the other poor.

‘Since the day that I brought My people Israel from Egypt, I did not choose a city out of all the tribes of Israel in which to build a house that My name might be there, but I have chosen David to be over My people Israel.’

Now it happened when David inhabited his house, that David said to Nathan the prophet, “Behold, I inhabit a house of cedar, but the ark of the covenant of Yahweh is under tent curtains.”

Now the acts of King David, from first to last, behold, they are written in the chronicles of Samuel the seer, in the chronicles of Nathan the prophet and in the chronicles of Gad the seer,

“David found favor in the sight of God, and asked that he might find a dwelling place for the God of Jacob.
