{Asked} ((8869)t(8873)ato). Aorist middle (indirect) indicative,
asked for himself (as a favour to himself). Cf.  2Sa 7:2f . {A
habitation} (sk(886e)(936d)a). Like  Ps 132:5 , but it was a house that
David proposed to build ( 2Sa 7:2 ), not a tent (sk(886e)(885c)) which
already existed. Sk(886e)(936d)a here means a more permanent abode
(oikon, house, in verse  47 ), though from the same root as
sk(886e)(885c).
