2 Samuel 7
Settled in his new palace, David expresses his desire to build a permanent, grand Temple for the Lord to replace the tent (Tabernacle). The prophet Nathan initially approves, but that night, God speaks to Nathan. God refuses the offer to have David build Him a house, but instead, God gives David an eternal promise: He will build David a house (dynasty). This Davidic Covenant promises that David's throne will be established forever, forming the basis for the lineage of the Messiah.
