1 Chronicles 17:6 in Context — 1 Chronicles 17

4 Vai e dize a Davi meu servo: Assim disse o SENHOR: Tu não me edificarás casa em que habite:

5 Porque não habitei em casa alguma desde o dia que tirei a os filhos de Israel até hoje; antes estive de tenda em tenda, e de tabernáculo em tabernáculo.

6 Em todo quanto andei com todo Israel falei uma palavra a algum dos juízes de Israel, a os quais mandei que apascentassem meu povo, para dizer-lhes: Por que não me edificais uma casa de cedro?

7 Portanto, agora dirás a meu servo Davi: Assim disse o SENHOR dos exércitos: Eu te tomei da malhada, de detrás do gado, para que fosses príncipe sobre meu povo Israel;

8 E fui contigo em tudo quanto andaste, e arranquei a todos teus inimigos de diante de ti, e te fiz grande nome, como o nome dos grandes que são na terra.
