The Ark of the Covenant had been kept in the tabernacle for years, but was only a temporary shelter. David had received the specification from God for the building of the temple, but he wasn’t the one to build it; God gave that honor to Solomon. Solomon vowed that he wouldn’t rest until he saw the completion of God’s permanent shelter. It seems that Solomon may have written Psalms 132 as a prayer or song for the dedication of the temple. He reminds God of His promise to David that he would always have a son sitting on the throne. That promise has not failed, because even to this day, a King of the house of David sits on the throne —a permanent King, Jesus. We can all be thankful that our King is not a tyrant, but understands our plight and loves us so much that He covered our transgression and paid the price for our guilt and disobedience. Jesus is the only King we need. Worship him with all your heart and thank him for being our King of Kings.The LORD hath sworn in truth unto David; he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of thy body will I set upon thy throne. Psalms 132:11
