One thought:

God told the prophet Nathan that David would not be the one to build God’s temple(1 Chronicles 17:3+4), and Nathan told David. As a ‘man of war’ David was not allowed to build the temple (1 Chronicles 22:8/1 Kings 5:2-18), but as a man of peace, the job would be left to his son, Solomon(1 Kings 8:19/1 Chronicles 17:11-15)who pre-figured (or pictured) the ultimate ‘son of David’ , the Messiah (Luke 1:32/1 Chronicles 17:11-14/Acts 13:3/Mark 1:11) who’s kingship (on David’s throne) would be peaceful eternally(Isaiah 9:7/Psalm 132:11/Romans 1:3/Isaiah 11:10/Romans 15:12). Though David was not allowed to build the temple, he was the one who drew up the plans, supplied much of it’s building material, and wrote many of the Psalms to be used as it’s music for worship (1 Chronicles 28:19/1Chronicles 29:2).
