2 Samuel 23:20b-39; 1 Chronicles 11:22b-47; 2 Samuel 8:15-18; Chronicles 18:14-17; 2 Samuel 7:1-29; 1 Chronicles 17:1-27

Isn't this the way the Lord works? David develops the desire to build a house for God, presumably a building more substantial than the Tent of Meeting, yet like the Tent of Meeting in that God would be worshiped within it. Then God makes a promise with David to this effect: "You will not build a house for me; but I will build an everlasting house (meaning a line of descendants and rulership) for you." (2 Samuel 7:16)

Somehow our deepest desires are sometimes turned around and become correlated with unexpected blessing from God.
