According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak unto David.
Nathan faithfully conveyed to David everything God had revealed to him, holding back neither the spoken words nor the content of the vision. That communication addressed David's desire to build a temple and set forth God's promises concerning David himself, his descendants after him, and Israel as a people. Although Nathan had at first encouraged David to proceed with building, he afterward brought God's corrective direction that David was not to build the house himself, but that his son would build it.
