In the book of 2 Samuel, chapter 7, King David is settled in his palace. But something bothers him. The Covenent Box--AKA the Ark of the Covenent--was in a tent nearby. He thought it should be brought into the palace.
He consulted with the prophet Nathan. Nathan said to do what he wanted. However, that night, the Lord appeared to Nathan and said that the Covenent Box was meant to be in God's tent, not inside the palace. He also said that David's ancestors will keep the kingdom strong, and that the Lord will make one of his sons a ruler. This son God will treat as a son and He as the Father.
David gave thanks to the Lord when he heard this. He siad many times he was not worthy of the gifts bestowed upon him, but would rule to the best of his ability and always trust in the Lord.
