This statement follows a divine revelation to David, emphasizing his role as a prophet and leader who seeks to align his actions with God's will.<p><b>“Here shall be the house of the LORD God</b><br>David identifies the location for the future temple, which is significant as it marks the transition from a mobile tabernacle to a permanent structure.

The temple symbolizes God's presence among His people and foreshadows the coming of Christ, who is described as the true temple in the New Testament.<p><b>as well as the altar of burnt offering for Israel.”</b><br>The altar of burnt offering was central to Israelite worship, representing atonement and reconciliation with God. It prefigures the ultimate sacrifice of Jesus Christ, who fulfills the sacrificial system through His death and resurrection.

It indicates a deep sense of relief that now visited David's mind. We can imagine how he had pondered often and long the "place where" of the "exceeding magnificent" house which it was in his heart to build for the Lord. The <span class="accented">place</span> was now found, and the more unexpected and "dreadful" (<a href="/genesis/28-17.htm">Genesis 28:17</a>) the method by which it was arrived at, the more convincing and satisfactory, at all events in some points of view. The extraordinary and impressive designating of this spot was in itself a signal for an active commencement of the work, and made at the same time such commencement practicable. Solomon and many others would afterwards often think, often speak, of the "threshing-finer of Ornan the Jebusite" as the place "which was shown to David his father," and which "David had prepared" (<a href="/2_chronicles/3-1.htm">2 Chronicles 3:1</a>).
