Exegesis
The verb dibbarti {דִּבַּ֗רְתִּי | dibbar·tî} ‘I spoke’ takes an unusual object construction with et-ahad {אֶת־אַחַד֙ | ʾeṯ-ʾaḥaḏ} ‘(to) one/anyone’, using the direct-object marker ʾeṯ in a partitive sense to deny that even a single official was addressed with such a demand.

In context — 1 Chronicles 17:6
Wherever I have walked throughout all Israel, did I speak a word to any one of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to shepherd My people, saying, “Why have you not built for Me a house of cedars?”
