King David has finally found peace after years of war, yet instead of enjoying his palace, his heart aches because God's Presence still dwells in a tent.
In this first part of 2 Samuel 7, Ari Abramowitz and Jeremy Gimpel explore David's remarkable desire to build God's Temple, Nathan's surprising reversal, and the famous question that has puzzled readers for thousands of years: Why wasn't David chosen to build the House of God? The answer may be far different than you've always been told and Part Two will reveal why.
In this Chapter you'll discover:
Why David could not rest in his own palace
The ancient Jewish tradition of leaving part of a home unfinished
Nathan the prophet's humility in receiving God's correction
Was David really disqualified because of bloodshed?
The deeper mystery that points toward tomorrow's revelation
