2 Samuel 7

David desires to build a house for the **Ark of God**, but the prophet Nathan conveys **YHWH**'s message that He will instead build David's house, promising an eternal kingdom through his offspring: 'Your house and your kingdom will endure forever before me; your throne will be established forever.' David humbly prays in gratitude, praising **YHWH**'s faithfulness.[2][3]
