David's heart

"Now it came to pass, when David was dwelling in his house, that David said to Nathan the prophet, 'see now, I dwell in a house of cedar, but the ark of the covenant of the Lord is under tent curtains.'” 1 Chronicles 17.1
 David committed sins that were not erased. Violent and unjustifiable sins. He  and his people reaped its fruits. However, even in the face of such outrage, his heart remained according to God's heart. The above verse proves that, for in his concern with the building of the House of the Lord, he considered his faith and covenant to the God of his forefathers.
