1 Chronicles 14:1–7, “Now Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and timber of cedars, with masons and carpenters, to build him an house. And David perceived that the LORD had confirmed him king over Israel, for his kingdom was lifted up on high, because of his people Israel. And David took more wives at Jerusalem: and David begat more sons and daughters. Now these are the names of his children which he had in Jerusalem; Shammua, and Shobab, Nathan, and Solomon, And Ibhar, and Elishua, and Elpalet, And Nogah, and Nepheg, and Japhia, And Elishama, and Beeliada, and Eliphalet.
In spiritual terms, the greatest achievement of the Davidic dynasty was the erection and establishment of the Temple. The Lord God chose to make Jerusalem the place where His Name would be honoured in all Israel and the Lord caused Hiram, king of Tyre, on the coast to the north of Israel, to offer David timber from his legendary tress for building the Temple and qualified experts to help him build the Temple. David believed that the Lord called him to build this great structure. After David was established as king in Jerusalem, he settled there and his family grew.
