David's prayer and thanksgiving And Nathan replied to the king Nathan was a prophet during the reign of King David, serving as a spiritual advisor.

Go and do all that is in your heart for the LORD is with you Persons / Places / Events 1. NathanA prophet during the reign of King David, Nathan served as a spiritual advisor and was instrumental in conveying God's messages to David. His role was crucial in guiding the king according to God's will. 2. King David The second king of Israel, known for his deep faith and leadership. At this point in the account, David desires to build a house for the Ark of the Covenant, reflecting his devotion to God. 3. The LORD The covenant name of God, Yahweh, who is central to the account. His presence and guidance are pivotal in the unfolding events of David's reign. 4. The Ark of the Covenant Although not directly mentioned in this verse, it is the focal point of David's desire to build a temple, symbolizing God's presence among His people. 5. Jerusalem The city where David established his kingdom and where he intended to build the temple, making it the spiritual and political center of Israel. Teaching Points The Role of Spiritual AdvisorsNathan's initial response to David underscores the importance of having godly counsel. Spiritual advisors can provide encouragement and guidance, but they must also be open to correction and further revelation from God. Desires Aligned with God's Will While David's desire to build a temple was noble, it was essential for him to seek God's will. Our plans, even when well-intentioned, should be submitted to God's greater purpose. God's Presence and Guidance Nathan's assurance that "the LORD is with you" reminds us of the importance of God's presence in our endeavors. We should seek His guidance in all our plans and actions. The Importance of Listening to God Nathan's later correction (not included in this verse) teaches us the importance of listening to God and being willing to change course when He reveals His will.
