The author of this episode is faced with the difficulty of explaining a historical fact, that David did not build the temple, as we might have expected, but rather it was his son Solomon who carried out the construction. The probable historical reason was that David was too preoccupied with the struggles with his own court and family. In Chronicles, the reason given is that he had shed blood. Here, the argument God makes is that it is an act of presumption for a mere mortal to build a temple for the unhoused God of Israelite history. But this line of reasoning actually enhances the theological importance of Solomon\u2019s temple, for it suggests that God Himself will build a house when He is good and ready, using the human agency He chooses. Thus the temple that is to be raised up by David\u2019s seed will have a more than human importance, being at once a token of God\u2019s indwelling among his people Israel and a Divine underwriting of the Davidic dynasty.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">From: Robert Alter, <em>The Hebrew Bible<\/em>, vol. 2: Prophets, W.
