David’s plan to build a temple in Jerusalem is vetoed by God, who then promises David the following things: 1) David would have a son to rule after him; 2) David’s son would build the temple; 3) the throne occupied by David’s lineage would be established forever; and 4) God would never take His mercy from David’s house (2 Samuel 7:4-16).
Mpango wa Daudi wa kujenga hekalu katika Yerusalemu unakataliwa na Mungu, ambaye kisha anamuahidi Daudi mambo yafuatayo: 1) Daudi atakuwa na mwana ambaye atatawala baada yake; 2) Mwana wa Daudi atajenga hekalu; 3) Kiti cha enzi kinachotawaliwa na ukoo wa Daudi kitakuwa imara milele; na 4) Mungu kamwe hataondoa huruma yake kutoka kwa nyumba ya Daudi (2 Samweli 7: 4-16).
