# Go and tell David my servant, 'This is what Yahweh says: You will not build me a house in which to live "Go and tell David my servant that he will not be the one to build a house in which I will live" # build me a house Here "house" means a temple. In 1 Chronicles 17:10 Yahweh will say that he will build a house for David. There "house" means a family. If your language has a word that can express both ideas, use it here and in 17:10.
