 2Then Nathan said unto David, Do all that is in thine heart; for God is with thee.
 3And it came to pass the same night, that the word of God came to Nathan, saying,
 4Go and tell David my servant, Thus saith the Lord, Thou shalt not build me an house to dwell in:
 5For I have not dwelt in an house since the day that I brought up Israel unto this day; but have gone from tent to tent, and from one tabernacle to another.
 6Wheresoever I have walked with all Israel, spake I a word to any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people, saying, Why have ye not built me an house of cedars?
 7Now therefore thus shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus saith the Lord of hosts, I took thee from the sheepcote, even from following the sheep, that thou shouldest be ruler over my people Israel:
 8And I have been with thee whithersoever thou hast walked, and have cut off all thine enemies from before thee, and have made thee a name like the name of the great men that are in the earth.
 9Also I will ordain a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, and they shall dwell in their place, and shall be moved no more; neither shall the children of wickedness waste them any more, as at the beginning,
 10And since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. Moreover I will subdue all thine enemies. Furthermore I tell thee that the Lord will build thee an house.
 11And it shall come to pass, when thy days be expired that thou must go to be with thy fathers, that I will raise up thy seed after thee, which shall be of thy sons; and I will establish his kingdom.
 12He shall build me an house, and I will stablish his throne for ever.
 13I will be his father, and he shall be my son: and I will not take my mercy away from him, as I took it from him that was before thee:
 14But I will settle him in mine house and in my kingdom for ever: and his throne shall be established for evermore.

• God had done to the king of glory all that He had promised to the rejected, suffering king. We find here in Solomon, as in Christ, the accomplishment of all the promises, because David, the rejected king, object of God’s special favor, had walked here, having but one object and but one thought: to find a place of rest for the glorious throne of the Lord.
