he might find a dwelling place for the house of Jacob

Here "house" is probably a metonym for the ark of the covenant. David wanted to build a place for the ark, which represented God's presence, so people could go there to worship God. Alternate translation: "he might build a place where people could worship the God of Jacob" (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metonymy)

the house of Jacob

Many versions read, "the God of Jacob."
