1 Chronicles 28:2-9

2Then DavidH1732 the kingH4428 stoodH6965 up upon his feetH7272, and saidH559, HearH8085 me, my brethren, and my peopleH5971: as for me, it was in my heartH3824 to buildH1129 a houseH1004 of restH4496 for the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of Jehovah, and for the footstool of our GodH430; and I had made ready for the buildingH1129. 3But GodH430 saidH559 unto me, Thou shalt not buildH1129 a houseH1004 for my nameH8034, because thou art a manH376 of warH4421, and hast shedH8210 bloodH1818. 4Howbeit Jehovah, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, choseH977 me out of all the houseH1004 of my fatherH1 to beH1961 kingH4428 over IsraelH3478 for everH5769: for he hath chosenH977 JudahH3063 to beH1961 princeH5057; and in the houseH1004 of JudahH3063, the houseH1004 of my fatherH1; and among the sonsH1121 of my fatherH1 he took pleasureH7521 in me to make me kingH4428 over all IsraelH3478; 5and of all my sonsH1121 (for Jehovah hath givenH5414 me manyH7227 sonsH1121), he hath chosenH977 SolomonH8010 my sonH1121 to sitH3427 upon the throneH3678 of the kingdomH4438 of Jehovah over IsraelH3478. 6And he saidH559 unto me, SolomonH8010 thy sonH1121, he shall buildH1129 my houseH1004 and my courts; for I have chosenH977 him to beH1961 my sonH1121, and I will beH1961 his fatherH1. 7And I will establishH3559 his kingdomH4438 for everH5769, if he be constant to do my commandmentsH4687 and mine ordinancesH4941, as at this dayH3117. 8NowH6258 thereforeH6258, in the sight of all IsraelH3478, the assemblyH6951 of Jehovah, and in the audience of our GodH430, observeH8104 and seekH1875 out all the commandmentsH4687 of Jehovah your GodH430; that ye may possessH3423 this goodH2896 landH776, and leave it for an inheritanceH5157 to your children after you for everH5769.

9And thou, SolomonH8010 my sonH1121, knowH3045 thou the GodH430 of thy fatherH1, and serveH5647 him with a perfectH8003 heartH3820 and with a willing mind; for Jehovah searcheth all heartsH3820, and understandeth all the imaginations of the thoughtsH4284. If thou seekH1875 him, he will be foundH4672 of thee; but if thou forsakeH5800 him, he will cast thee off for everH5703.
