2. That he would appoint a place for his people Israel, and plant1 it, that they might dwell in a place of their own, and move no more, nor be disquieted any more by wicked people, as in former times. And so God gave Israel rest from all their enemies round about, and settled them in peace and quietness by the hand of David.

3. That when the days of David were fulfilled, and he shall1 sleep with his Fathers, he would set up his seed after him, which should proceed out of his body, and he should build an house or Temple for the Name of the Lord God of Israel. I purpose (saith2 Solomon) to build an house unto the Name of the Lord my God, as the Lord spake unto David my Father, saying, Thy Son, whom I will set upon thy throne for thee, he shall build an house unto my Name. And at the dedication of the Temple he maketh mention of this promise: The Lord said unto David my Father, whereas it was in thine heart to build an house unto my Name, thou didst well, that thou wast so minded: Nevertheless thou shalt not build the house, but thy son that shall come out of thy loins, he shall build the house unto the Lord. And the Lord hath made good the word, which he spake. I have built thee an house to dwell in, an habitation for thee to abide in for ever.
