These are my thoughts, please share yours.
6 David because God was with Him overtook the Syrians and by them serving him it help build up his nation. Whatever David God was with him this was because David seeked to serve the Lord first and he was a righteous king because of this. The taxes that were made to be paid were so that they could continue to live in their homes instead of David making them move else where, it would bring wealth to Israel.
7 Jerusalem was the city that his throne would be in and it would also become the city that the temple was to be built.
8 We see here how David is getting things together for Solomon to build the temple. David even though he was not allowed to build the temple he did everything he could for his son who would be building it instead of getting discouraged, he kept serving the Lord who he wanted to build the temple for.
