1 Chronicles 28:5-7

5The Lord has given me many sons. Now he has chosen my son Solomon from among them to rule over his kingdom, Israel.

6The Lord said to me, “Your son Solomon will build my temple and the yards around it. I have chosen him to become my son. And I will become his father.

7He must always continue to obey my commands and my laws, as he now does. If he is careful to do that, I will make his kingdom strong for all time.”
