Establishing a temple for the LORD here on earth and The establishment of a place in heaven for David and the people of Israel.  The word of the LORD came to Nathan telling him to go tell David ‘this is what the LORD says :Are you the one to build me a house to dwell in ? I have not dwelt in a house from the time I brought the Israelites up out of Egypt to this day. (V5-6a) The LORD goes on to ask David when he had asked why has no one built a house for me. Rather The LORD tells David that he has been with him everywhere he has gone and now The LORD will make your name grate. Although David what’s to make a place for the LORD the LORD douse not want him to because, David douse not understand  that the LORD’s place is not here on earth but, rather in Heaven. In verse teen The LORD says that he will provide a place for his people Israel and will plant them so they can have a home of their own and no longer be disturbed. The LORD also tells David that he will establish a house for him when his days are over. The words O LORD and LORD are repeated many times thought out  the text . There also seams to be a them of a promos from God that God will make a place in heaven for his chosen people.
