David dedicates the ark's presence in Jerusalem with a magnificent psalm of praise for what God had done and promised to do for Israel. God confirms His plans for David and his family; God will establish David's family on the throne forever because of David's faithfulness.
David desires to build a house for the worship of God; but God has other plans. In fact, it will be one of David's sons, Solomon, who will build the temple when the time comes. David, content with God's plan and timing, begins amassing the supplies that will be used in the construction of this edifice. Gifts and spoils of war are dedicated to be used in the building of this great and glorious temple to the God Who delivers, provides and supplies. David enjoys great success in battle and in administration. God provides victory for every situation he faces.
