3. David's dream

5. II Chron. 6:7,8 Now it was in the heart of my father David to build
a house for the name of the Lord, the God of Israel.
But the Lord said to my father David, "Because it
was in your heart to build a house for My name,
you did well that it was in your heart."
II Chron. 6:7,8

6. Leadership limitations
God's servants often mean well . . .
but often misunderstand their situations.
Eli presumes Hannah is drunk (I Sam. 1:12-18).
Saul presumes it's fine to be a priest in a pinch (13:8,9).
Samuel presumes Eliab is to succeed Saul as king (16:6-7).
David presumes it's practical to tote the ark on a cart (25:32-34).
Uzzah presumes it's OK to grab the ark to protect it (2 Sam. 6:7).
Zadok and Abiathar presume it's good to take the Ark out (15:24-29).

It was unsolicited.

8. I Chron. 22:6-8 David said to Solomon, "My son, I had intended
to build a house to the name of the Lord my God.”
But the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
‘You have shed much blood and waged great
wars; you shall not build a house to My name
because you have shed so much blood, Behold,
a son will be born to you, who shall be a man
of rest; and I will give peace and quiet to Israel…”
I Chron. 22:6-8

9. I Chron. 28:2,3 I had intended to build a permanent home for the ark
of the covenant of the Lord and for the footstool
of our God. So I had made preparations to build it,
but God said to me, “You shall not build a house for
My name because because you are a man of war
and have shed blood”
I Chron. 28:2,3
