Exegesis
The negation lōʾ ʾă-tāh tiv-neh-lī {לֹ֥א אַתָּ֛ה תִּבְנֶה־לִּ֥י | lōʾ ʾă-tāh tiv-neh lī} places emphasis on David’s exclusion, and the infinitive lā-šā-ḇet {לָשָֽׁבֶת | lā-šā-ḇet} specifies the intended purpose as divine indwelling. The English rendering preserves Hebrew word order and prophetic structure to maintain emphasis.
In context — 1 Chronicles 17:4
Go and say to David my servant, “Thus says the LORD : You will not be the one to build the house for Me to dwell in.”
