David, though a man of most intimate converse and ac- quaintance with God, and one who bore a kingly preeminence over others, no less in point of piety than of majesty, after he had made 'such rich, such vast, and almost incredible provision of materials for the building of the temple ; yet because he had dipt his hands in blood, though but the blood of God's enemies, had the glory of that work took out of them, and was not permitted to lay a stone in that sacred pile ; but the whole work was e...ntirely re- served for Solomon, a prince adorned with those parts of mind, and exalted by such a concurrence of ON PSALM LXXXVII. 2. 177 all prosperous events to make him glorious and magnificent, as if God had made it his business to build a Solomon, that Solomon might build him an house.
