And it was in the heart of David my father to build an house for the name of the LORD God of Israel.
It was in the heart of David to build a house for the Lord God of Israel. His purpose was that the temple should be erected for the honor of God's name. That house was indeed built to honor the divine name. Yet through the later apostasy of its builder it came to be known as Solomon's temple. Its name was thus turned toward a man instead of toward God.
