David Proposes Building a Temple

2 Samuel 7:1-3

And it came to pass when the king sat in his house, and the Lord had given him rest on every side from all his enemies,

He said to Nathan the prophet: Dost thou see that I dwell in a house of cedar, and the ark of God is lodged within skins?

And Nathan said to the king: Go, do all that is in they heart: because the Lord is with thee.
