Why was David disqualified from building the temple?

In [2 Samuel 7](https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2+samuel+7&version=ESV) , King David seems to have a heart to build a temple for God. However, he seems to be disqualified for some reason, but his son is identified as the one who will build it instead. What was it about David that disqualified him in particular from building the temple? He was a man of war, of course, but why would that preclude his involvement in the building of a place of worship? > After the king was settled in his palace and the Lord had given him rest from all his enemies around him, 2 he said to Nathan the prophet, “**Here I am, living in a house of cedar, while the ark of God remains in a tent.”** > >3 Nathan replied to the king, “Whatever you have in mind, go ahead and do it, for the Lord is with you.” 4 But that night the word of the Lord came to Nathan, saying: > > 5 “Go and tell my servant David, ‘This is what the Lord says: **Are you the one to build me a house to dwell in?** 6 I have not dwelt in a house from the day I brought the Israelites up out of Egypt to this day. I have been moving from place to place with a tent as my dwelling. 7 Wherever I have moved with all the Israelites, did I ever say to any of their rulers whom I commanded to shepherd my people Israel, “Why have you not built me a house of cedar?”’ 2 Samuel 7:1-7
