'Also I declare to you that the LORD will build you a house. When your days are fulfilled to go to be with your ancestors, I will raise up your offspring after you, one of your own sons, and I will establish his kingdom' — word-play on 'house' (family/dynasty) is Chronicler's chief theological point. God will build David's 'house' (dynasty), not David building God's 'house' (temple). Successor will build temple.
