God's Promise to David
God doesn't need a house to live in. God doesn't need a box to be put into. God has been with the people every step of the way and he tells Nathan to tell David, did I ever tell you that I needed a house, or a palace, or a temple to live in? No. God wasn't interested in David building him a house because instead, God was going to build David an everlasting house.
