God’s Covenant with David
1–27Before long, the king made himself at home and God gave him peace from all his enemies. Then one day King David said to Nathan the prophet, “Look at this: Here I am, comfortable in a luxurious house of cedar, and the Chest of God sits in a plain tent.”
3Nathan told the king, “Whatever is on your heart, go and do it. God is with you.”
