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.

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.
