In his latter days, David charges his son Solomon to build the temple for the worship of God, and we get a few new details that we didn't get in 2 Samuel or 1 Kings. First, we learn that the Lord did not allow David to build the temple because his hands had shed so much blood and waged great wars. We also realize that David looked forward to the building of the temple even though he himself couldn’t build it, charging his son with the task and spending his own time and resources to create a stockpile for the project. David also assigns duties and tasks for the Levite priests before he dies, paving the way for transition from the tabernacle to the temple once Solomon becomes king.
