Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible

And it was in the heart of David my father,.... His mind was disposed to it, his heart was set upon it, he had taken up a resolution:

to build an house for the name of the Lord God of Israel; for his worship and service, for his honour and glory, 2 Samuel 7:3.

Keil and Delitzsch Biblical Commentary on the Old Testament

David's intention to build the temple, and the answer of God that his son was to execute this work, are so far copied from 2 Samuel 7:2, 2 Samuel 7:12-13, that God approves the intention of David as such. הטיבת, "Thou didst well that it was in thy mind."

Geneva Study Bible

And it was in the heart of David my father to build an house for the name of the LORD God of Israel.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary

8:12-21 Solomon encouraged the priests, who were much astonished at the dark cloud. The dark dispensations of Providence should quicken us in fleeing for refuge to the hope of the gospel. Nothing can more reconcile us to them, than to consider what God has said, and to compare his word and works together. Whatever good we do, we must look on it as the performance of God's promise to us, not of our promises to him.

2 Samuel 7:2 he said to Nathan the prophet, "Here I am, living in a palace of cedar, while the ark of God remains in a tent."

2 Samuel 7:3 Nathan replied to the king, "Whatever you have in mind, go ahead and do it, for the LORD is with you."

1 Kings 8:18 But the LORD said to my father David, 'Because it was in your heart to build a temple for my Name, you did well to have this in your heart.

1 Chronicles 17:1 After David was settled in his palace, he said to Nathan the prophet, "Here I am, living in a palace of cedar, while the ark of the covenant of the LORD is under a tent."

1 Chronicles 17:2 Nathan replied to David, "Whatever you have in mind, do it, for God is with you."

Psalm 132:5 till I find a place for the LORD, a dwelling for the Mighty One of Jacob."
