Old Testament/Stories of David (II Samuel 7:5ff)
. . . Go and tell my servant David, Thus saith the LORD,
Shalt thou build me an house for me to dwell in? Whereas I have not dwelt in
any house since the time that I brought up the children of Israel out of Egypt , even to this day, but have
walked in a tent and in a tabernacle. In all the places wherein I have walked
with all the children of Israel spoke I a word with any of the tribes of
Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people Israel, saying, Why build ye not me
an house of cedar? Now therefore so shall you say unto my servant David, Thus
saith the LORD of hosts, I took thee from the sheepcote, from following the
sheep, to be ruler over my people, over Israel: And I was with you where ever
you, and have cut off all your enemies out of thy sight, and have made thee a
great name, like unto the name of the great men that are in the earth. Moreover
I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may
dwell in a place of their own, and move no more; neither shall the children of
wickedness afflict them any more, as beforetime, And as since the time that I
commanded judges to be over my people Israel, and have caused thee to rest from
all your enemies. Also the LORD . . .
Since David was not allowed to build a house
(temple) for the Lord…who ended up building it?
