David Wants to Build a Temple

7 King David was living in his palace, and the Lord had given him peace from all his enemies around him. ² Then David said to Nathan the prophet, “Look, I am living in a palace made of cedar wood, but the Ark of God is in a tent!”

³ Nathan said to the king, “Go and do what you really want to do, because the Lord is with you.”
