Verse 46
God blessed David’s reign, and the tabernacle, not the temple, existed then. The initiative to build the temple was David’s, not God’s. It had been David’s desire to build God a more glorious place in which to dwell. However, God did not "jump" at this suggestion because He did not need another place in which to dwell.
"The temple, Stephen implies, was a royal whim, tolerated of God." [Note: Ibid., p. 77.]
