David and War
This morning I have a question on my mind. David was told he could not build the temple because he was a man of war. Didn't God tell David to go to war in the first place? Why was David seemingly punished for doing God's will?

I think David couldn't build the temple because of shedding too much innocent blood ,which that could refer to the slaying of Uriah perhaps.

Just a thought--sometimes men have gone overboard in doing warfare after God commanded thm to go.
When you start swinging the sword, it is important to know when to stop.
Also, it could be that it wasn't a punishment, but just rather a role that God had reserved for someone else. Just like Paul planted and Apollos watered.
Did it have to mean that david was being punished?
Or just that he was a fighter who was going to sire a builder?

I tried to find where this was written. Anybody know off the top of your head? I was reading in 2 Sam. 7 but if it's in there, I missed it.

Consider this passage:
Hsa 1:4 ¶ And the LORD said unto him, Call his name Jezreel; for yet a little [while], and I will avenge the blood of Jezreel upon the house of Jehu, and will cause to cease the kingdom of the house of Israel.
Jehu had been commissioned by the Lord to deal with Ahab and his wife, and Jezreel.
But it appears that he developed a little too strong a taste for blood.
God does ordain the sword, but it is important to know when to stop swinging.

That's a good point about stopping. Sometimes the best thing a person can do is throw down the sword and walk away.

Solomon was also a warrior king. I have always felt that the reason David was prohibited from building the temple was not that he was a man of war, but rather, he shed the innocent blood of Uriah the Hittite.
God sanctioned war through David; He never sanctioned the slaying of Uriah.
