1 Chronicles 28:2-9

2Then KingH4428 DavidH1732 roseH6965 toH5921 his feetH7272 and saidH559, “Listen to meH8085, my brothersH251 and my peopleH5971H589. It was inH5973 my heartH3824 to buildH1129 a houseH1004 as a resting placeH4496 for the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068 and as a footstoolH1916H7272 for our GodH430. I had made preparationsH3559 to build itH1129, 3but GodH430 saidH559 to me, ‘You are notH3808 to buildH1129 a houseH1004 for My NameH8034, becauseH3588 youH859 are a manH376 of warH4421 who has shedH8210 bloodH1818.’

4Yet the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, choseH977 me out of allH3605 my father’sH1 houseH1004 to beH1961 kingH4428 overH5921 IsraelH3478 foreverH5769. ForH3588 He choseH977 JudahH3063 as leaderH5057, and from the houseH1004 of JudahH3063 He chose my father’sH1 householdH1004, and from my father’sH1 sonsH1121 He was pleasedH7521 to make me kingH4427 overH5921 allH3605 IsraelH3478. 5And of allH3605 my sonsH1121—forH3588 the LORDH3068 has givenH5414 me manyH7227 sonsH1121—He has chosenH977 SolomonH8010 my sonH1121 to sitH3427 onH5921 the throneH3678 of the kingdomH4438 of the LORDH3068 overH5921 IsraelH3478. 6And He saidH559 to me, ‘SolomonH8010 your sonH1121 is the oneH1931 who will buildH1129 My houseH1004 and My courtsH2691, forH3588 I have chosen himH977 as My sonH1121, and IH589 will beH1961 his FatherH1. 7I will establishH3559 his kingdomH4438 foreverH5704H5769, ifH518 he resolutelyH2388 carries outH6213 My commandmentsH4687 and ordinancesH4941, as is being doneH3117 this dayH2088.’

8So nowH6258 in the sightH5869 of allH3605 IsraelH3478, the assemblyH6951 of the LORDH3068, and in the hearingH241 of our GodH430, keepH8104 and seek outH1875 allH3605 the commandmentsH4687 of the LORDH3068 your GodH430, so thatH4616 you may possessH3423 this goodH2896 landH776 and leave it as an inheritanceH5157 to your descendantsH1121H310 foreverH5704H5769. 9As for youH859, SolomonH8010 my sonH1121, knowH3045 the GodH430 of your fatherH1 and serve HimH5647 wholeheartedlyH3820H8003 and with a willingH2655 mindH5315, forH3588 the LORDH3068 searchesH1875 everyH3605 heartH3824 and understandsH995 the intentH3336 of everyH3605 thoughtH4284. IfH518 you seek HimH1875, He will be foundH4672 by you; but ifH518 you forsake HimH5800, He will reject youH2186 foreverH5703.
