He has built his palace, he wears his crown, he has the support of the people. Yet he is troubled by the fact that while he is settled, God is not. God appears to the prophet Nathan stating \u201cSince the Jewish people left Egypt, I have been in a state of displacement, moved around from tent to tabernacle, travelling in the desert, residing in Shiloh, but did I ever become upset at any of the leaders of Israel, by asking them why they had not made an effort to build me something befitting the King of kings?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rabbanit Shani Taragin speaks of the verses where God says he will choose a place to reside, asking the pivotal question of whether God chooses that place, or we have to be ready to accept that place, namely Jerusalem, and more so, choosing to build the Temple, a permanent residence for the Almighty.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It is David\u2019s life ambition to display complete servitude to God, but he is told through the prophet, that while his kingship will be eternal, it will not be him who builds a house for God, rather it will be his son. God tells David that his unborn son will be like a son to him, yes, he will chastise him when he does wrong, but he will also never withdraw from him.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">David realizes his role has now changed. His primary job is to understand his own history; he did not acquire his title of King as a new standalone title, rather he is meant to take his personal personas of shepherd and warrior and cement his household within the annals of the Jewish history. He is not an absolute monarch, that title will fall to his son in a way, fully cemented as one who will be settled and allow God to be settled. Rather, David is meant to steer the ship of the Children of Israel through the rough seas that will come, establishing a kingdom both in geography and name, and in turn allowing it to flourish under and eternal house.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Image:\u00a0 King David in Prayer, Pieter de Grebber, c. 1635 \/ wikimedia
