<p class="tab-1">Still the ark is David’s care as well as his joy. In this chapter we have, I. His consultation with Nathan about building a house for it; he signifies his purpose to do it (<a class="bibleref" title="2Sam.7.1,2Sam.7.2" href="/passage/?search=2Sam.7.1,2Sam.7.2"><span class="bibleref" title="2Sam.7.1">2 Sam. 7:1</span>, <span class="bibleref" title="2Sam.7.2">2</span></a>) and Nathan approves his purpose, <a class="bibleref" title="2Sam.7.3" href="/passage/?search=2Sam.7.3">2 Sam. 7:3</a>. II. His communion with God about it. 1. A gracious message God sent him about it, accepting his purpose, countermanding the performance, and promising him an entail of blessings upon his family, <a class="bibleref" title="2Sam.7.4-2Sam.7.17" href="/passage/?search=2Sam.7.4-2Sam.7.17">2 Sam. 7:4-17</a>. 2. A very humble prayer which David offered up to God in return to that gracious message, thankfully accepting God’s promises to him, and earnestly praying for the performance of them, <a class="bibleref" title="2Sam.7.18-2Sam.7.29" href="/passage/?search=2Sam.7.18-2Sam.7.29">2 Sam. 7:18-29</a>. And, in both these, there is an eye to the Messiah and his kingdom.</p>
