1;  David, foreknowing the place of the temple, prepares
     abundance for the building of it.
  6;  He instructs Solomon in God's promises, and his duty in
     building the temple.
 17;  He charges the princes to assist his son.

 * This is the house.
   David perhaps had some assurance that this was the place on
   which God designed that His house should be built; and perhaps
   it was this that induced him to buy not only the
   threshing-floor, but probably some adjacent ground also, as
   Calmet supposes, that there might be sufficient room for such
   a structure.
