Notes
David wanted to build a home for the ark as grand as his palace, but the Lord chose David’s heir, Solomon (1 Chronicles 22), to build the temple. Jerusalem was to be the only place of worship for all Israel.
The larger section (1 Chronicles 13:1–17:27) ends with Nathan's prophecy about David and David's prayer of thanks.
