2 Samuel 7:7

7:7 Wherever I moved among all the Israelites, I did not say to any of the leaders whom I appointed to care for my people Israel, “Why have you not built me a house made from cedar?”’


tn Heb “Did I speak a word?” In the Hebrew text the statement is phrased as a rhetorical question.

tn Heb “tribes” (so KJV, NASB, NCV), but the parallel passage in 1 Chr 17:6 has “judges.”

tn Heb “whom I commanded to shepherd” (so NIV, NRSV).
