David rose to his feet and said:“ My brothers and my people! It was my desire to build a Temple where the Ark of the Lord’s Covenant, God’s footstool, could rest permanently. I made the necessary preparations for building it,but God said to me,‘ You must not build a Temple to honor my name, for you are a warrior and have shed much blood.’

Oh, how great are God’s riches and wisdom and knowledge! How impossible it is for us to understand his decisions and his ways!For who can know the Lord’s thoughts? Who knows enough to give him advice?

“ My thoughts are nothing like your thoughts,” says the Lord.“ And my ways are far beyond anything you could imagine.For just as the heavens are higher than the earth, so my ways are higher than your ways and my thoughts higher than your thoughts.

But that same night the Lord said to Nathan,“ Go and tell my servant David,‘ This is what the Lord has declared: Are you the one to build a house for me to live in?

But the Lord told him,‘ You wanted to build the Temple to honor my name. Your intention is good,but you are not the one to do it. One of your own sons will build the Temple to honor me.’

but you are not the one to do it. One of your own sons will build the Temple to honor me.’

“ My son, I wanted to build a Temple to honor the name of the Lord my God,” David told him.“ But the Lord said to me,‘ You have killed many men in the battles you have fought. And since you have shed so much blood in my sight, you will not be the one to build a Temple to honor my name.
