CHAPTER STUDY WORKSPACE

2 Samuel 7

David wants to build a house for the LORD, but through Nathan the prophet God reverses the proposal: David will not build God a house; God will build David a ‘house,’ meaning an enduring dynasty. The LORD promises that David’s seed will have a kingdom and throne established for ever. David responds with humble prayer, marveling at God’s grace and asking Him to fulfill His word.
