God's Promise to David.
When David was selected to be
king over Israel, it was because he
was a man alter uous uwii uciwl.
the selection of such a character that
Go(1 wanted for the proper instruction
of his early church.
During the first years of the period
when David was king, and even be
fore he was hunted like as he said
j himself, a dog, and after he had be-!
come the ruler of the kingdom, he
had many hard battles to fight, that
the Kingdom of Israel might be es
tablished and also that the inhabi
tants might dwell in security, and
above all might exemplify the loving
kindness and forgiveness and care of
the Father over His children, and as
God had selected David, a Shepherd
lad. where he was finding grasses
' green, and waters pure and whole-
some for the flock, he was at the
j of still waters, and in safety, for did
not lie protect them from the lion and
the bear, as well as safely house them
in the fold at night. Such was the
character which the Great Jehovah
selected to shepherd His Children of
Israel, and it was because of this
place of government and buildings
were made for the purpose and as
they were established, also a magnif
icent house was constructed for the
king. The house of David was indeed
at thst time a very magnificent af-
fair, uavid nad dwelt in tne cave or
. Adu'.Iam. and in the fastnesses of the
mountains and slept in the open, and
j had had the wild animals for his
. companions,
The house of David was construct-

(David had a good house, and he de-
sired to have a good one for the meet
ing of the Lord's people, so he went
to Nathan, the good and eminent
preacher and prophet and made
known his desires.
The schem, immediately was ac
