Question

God allowed David to build him a house (i.e., temple).


True

False

Answer 1

False. In the biblical account, God did not allow David to build the temple. Instead, God told David that his son Solomon would be the one to build the temple. David gathered materials and made preparations for the temple, but the actual construction was carried out by Solomon. This can be found in passages such as 1 Chronicles 28:3-6.
