Transcription: Although God vetoed the plan to build a temple, he granted David far more. Harking back to his covenant with the Israelites, he promised in a tender play on words to build a house out of David's descendants that would last forever. Whatever his reservations about the Israelites' demand for a king, God had fully adopted the king as his representative within the nation. In a typically humble response, David erupted in a prayer of astonished thanksgiving.
