David Proposes Building a Temple

2 Samuel 7:1-3

And it came to pass, when the king dwelt in his house, and Jehovah had given him rest from all his enemies round about,

that the king said unto Nathan the prophet, See now, I dwell in a house of cedar, but the ark of God dwelleth within curtains.

And Nathan said to the king, Go, do all that is in thy heart; for Jehovah is with thee.
