A.T. Robertson Commentary Acts 7:46

"who found favor in the sight of God, and asked to find a habitation for the God of Jacob." — Acts 7:46 (ASV)

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

A habitation (σκηνωμα). Like Ps 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 47), though from the same root as σκηνη.
