Some of the main ideas from today's lecture
One of the most important lines in the Hebrew Bible came from 2 Samuel 7. In 2 Samuel 7, there is an eternal promise that there will be a king in the House of David. Some interpret this quote as "God makes a promise and did not fulfill it", but other interpret this quote as "Jesus was called the son of David and therefore there is a tie in the genealogy between David and Jesus".
Nathan was the prophet to David. The role that prophets play in ancient times can be compared to the role that the press plays today. Like the press, prophets rule against the king and hold the king in check.
One interpretation of why God did not want David to build a home for him was because 1 Chronicles mentions that David killed a lot of people. Therefore, Soloman and not David built the temple.
