GOD'S OVERRULING PROVIDENCE IN THE TEMPLE'S CONSTRUCTION"Then David gave to Solomon his son the pattern of the porch of the temple, of the houses thereof, and of the treasuries thereof, and of the upper rooms thereof, and of the place of the mercy-seat."David himself did not invent this pattern, but God gave it to him, having first given it to Moses; and David learned all about it from Exodus 25:10,17-22; 31:7; 40:20; and in Numbers 7:89.
