The construction of the Temple by Solomon was in fulfilment of God's prophecy to:
- A. Samuel
- B. Saul
- C. El
- D. David
Correct Answer: D. David
Explanation
The prophecy regarding the building of the Temple is found in 2 Samuel 7:12-13 where God speaks to David through the prophet Nathan and promises a lasting dynasty for David's descendants.
When your days are fulfilled and you lie down with your fathers, I will raise up your offspring after you, who shall come from your body, and I will establish his kingdom. He shall build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.
This prophecy is fulfilled through Solomon, David's son, who later becomes the king of Israel and constructs the Temple in Jerusalem. The construction of the Temple is considered the realization of God's promise to David, as conveyed through the prophet Nathan.
