The king said to Nathan the prophet,“ Look! I am living in a palace made from cedar, while the ark of God sits in the middle of a tent.”Nathan replied to the king,“ You should go and do whatever you have in mind, for the LORD is with you.”

King David rose to his feet and said:“ Listen to me, my brothers and my people. I wanted to build a temple where the ark of the LORD’s covenant could be placed as a footstool for our God. I have made the preparations for building it.

When David had settled into his palace, he said to Nathan the prophet,“ Look, I am living in a palace made from cedar, while the ark of the LORD’s covenant is under a tent.”Nathan said to David,“ You should do whatever you have in mind, for God is with you.”That night God told Nathan the prophet,“ Go, tell my servant David:‘ This is what the LORD says:“ You must not build me a house in which to live.For I have not lived in a house from the time I brought Israel up from Egypt to the present day. I have lived in a tent that has been in various places.Wherever I moved throughout Israel, I did not say to any of the leaders whom I appointed to care for my people Israel,‘ Why have you not built me a house made from cedar?’”’“ So now, say this to my servant David:‘ This is what the LORD who commands armies says:“ I took you from the pasture and from your work as a shepherd to make you a leader of my people Israel.I was with you wherever you went and I defeated all your enemies before you. Now I will make you as famous as the great men of the earth.I will establish a place for my people Israel and settle them there; they will live there and not be disturbed anymore. Violent men will not oppress them again, as they did in the beginningand during the time when I appointed judges to lead my people Israel. I will subdue all your enemies.“‘“ I declare to you that the LORD will build a dynastic house for you!When the time comes for you to die, I will raise up your descendant, one of your own sons, to succeed you, and I will establish his kingdom.He will build me a house, and I will make his dynasty permanent.I will become his father and he will become my son. I will never withhold my loyal love from him, as I withheld it from the one who ruled before you.I will put him in permanent charge of my house and my kingdom; his dynasty will be permanent.”’”Nathan told David all these words that were revealed to him.

David said to Solomon:“ My son, I really wanted to build a temple to honor the LORD my God.
