b'After staying in the house of Obed-Edom for a while, the ark of the covenant finally comes to Jerusalem with great fanfare. After King David reestablishes the tabernacle, he returns to his own home, a palace made of cedar, and thinks \\u201cWhy does God dwell in a tent, while I, a mere man, dwell in a palace?\\u201d As his wheels begin to spin, he tells Nathan the prophet. Nathan tells David to go for it, but later receives a vision from the Lord. The Lord has never asked a house, but God flips the script and says, \\u201cYou know what? I\\u2019m going to build a house from your family tree. A Son of David will build a house for me that will last forever.'
