2 Samuel7:3
3 And Nathan said to the king, Go, do all that is in thine heart : for the LORD is with thee.
Pursue thy intentions, and Build an House for the Ark. The design being Pious, and the thing not forbidden by God, Nathan hastily approves it, before he had either seriously considered it in his own mind, or consulted God about it, as both he and David certainly ought to have done in a matter of so great moment. And therefore Nathan meets with this rebuke, that he is forced to acknowledge his error, and recant it. For the Holy Prophets did not speak all things by Prophetical Inspiration, but some things by an human spirit, and prudent conjecture; and therefore they were ignorant and mistaken in some matters, as 1 Sam. 16. 6. 2 King. 4. 27.
