IN the beginning of this chapter, we read of Davids purpose to build God an house, who thereupon consulted with Nathan about it, one Prophet standing in need of another's help in such weighty matters. Nathan encourageth the King unto this work, verse 3. God the same night meets Nathan and tells him a contrary purpose of his: Wherein God refuseth Davids offer, with some kind of earnest and vehement dislike, verse 4.5. Secondly, he refuseth the reason of Davids offer, from his long silence. For four hundred years together he spake of no such thing, unto any of the Tribes of Israel, saying, Why build you not me an house? in 6.7. verses.
