Nathan encouraged David to act on his conviction (see 1 Samuel 10:7) and make a plan to construct a better and more permanent shelter for the ark.1 The prophet thereby affirmed the king’s desire and he did so because David’s plan was good and not out of step with God’s revelation.
3 Nathan répondit au roi: Va, fais tout ce que tu as dans le cœur, car l'Eternel est avec toi.
