Homily
After building himself a magnificent palace, David decided – in what he undoubtedly considered a moment of great magnanimity – to also build a residence for God (‘Behold, I live in a cedar palace, and God lives in a tent!’) And God replied, ‘You will not build me a house; I will build you one.’
