ATTENTION! Listen up! 2 Samuel 7 ... King David was living in a house of cedar, but the Lord told him he was "not to build a house for [His] name." Instead, God told David that his son would be the one to build the temple. God also told David that He would be with David's descendants forever. Then God blessed David with a promise that He would make his dynasty “like the host of heaven in number” and forever establish his throne and kingdom. God also promised that David's house and kingdom would be established forever. That's it! Now let's move on!
