Asked (ηιτησατο). Aorist middle (indirect) indicative, asked for himself (as a favour to himself). Cf. 2. Samuel 7:2.

A habitation (σκηνωμα). Like Psalm 132:5, but it was a house that David proposed to build (2. Samuel 7:2), not a tent (σκηνη) which already existed. Σκηνωμα here means a more permanent abode (οικον, house, in verse Acts 7:47), though from the same root as σκηνη.
