This moment signifies the transfer of responsibility and divine purpose from father to son. Solomon, whose name means "peace," is a fitting choice to build the temple, as his reign is characterized by peace and prosperity, unlike David's, which was marked by warfare. This calling also reflects the biblical principle of generational legacy and the importance of preparing the next generation for God's work.<p><b>and instructed him to build a house for the LORD</b><br>David's instruction to Solomon to build the temple is significant because David himself was not permitted by God to build it due to his history as a warrior (<a href="/1_chronicles/28-3.htm">1 Chronicles 28:3</a>). The "house for the LORD" refers to the temple in Jerusalem, a central place of worship for Israel and a symbol of God's presence among His people. This task emphasizes the importance of obedience to God's plans and the fulfillment of divine promises, as God had promised David that his son would build the temple (<a href="/2_samuel/7-12.htm">2 Samuel 7:12-13</a>).<p><b>the God of Israel</b><br>This phrase underscores the covenant relationship between God and Israel. The temple is not just a physical structure but a testament to God's faithfulness and His unique relationship with Israel. It serves as a reminder of God's promises to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and the establishment of Israel as His chosen people. The temple's construction is a fulfillment of God's covenantal promises and a foreshadowing of the ultimate dwelling of God with humanity through Jesus Christ, who is often seen as the true temple (<a href="/john/2-19.htm">John 2:19-21</a>).<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/d/david.htm">David</a></b><br>The King of Israel who desired to build a temple for the Lord but was instructed by God that his son would fulfill this task.<br><br>2. <b><a href="/topical/s/solomon.htm">Solomon</a></b><br>The son of David, chosen to build the temple, symbolizing peace and wisdom.<br><br>3. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_house_for_the_lord.htm">The House for the LORD</a></b><br>Refers to the temple in Jerusalem, a central place of worship for the Israelites.<br><br>4. <b><a href="/topical/t/the_lord,_the_god_of_israel.htm">The LORD, the God of Israel</a></b><br>The covenant God of Israel, who dwells among His people and desires a place of worship.<br><br>5. <b><a href="/topical/j/jerusalem.htm">Jerusalem</a></b><br>The city where the temple was to be built, significant as the spiritual and political center of Israel.<div class="vheading2">Teaching Points</div><b><a href="/topical/d/divine_purpose_and_timing.htm">Divine Purpose and Timing</a></b><br>God’s plans often extend beyond our lifetime, and His purposes are fulfilled in His timing.
