1 Chronicles 28:2-9

2Then DavidH1732 the kingH4428 stoodH6965 upH6965 uponH5921 his feetH7272, and saidH559, HearH8085 meH5921, my brethrenH251, and my peopleH5971: as for meH5921, it was in mineH5973 heartH3824 to buildH1129 an houseH1004 of restH4496 for the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068, and for the footstool of our GodH430; and I had madeH3559 readyH3559 for the buildingH1129.

3But GodH430 saidH559 unto meH3808, Thou shalt notH3808 buildH1129 an houseH1004 for my nameH8034, becauseH3588 thou art a manH376 of warH4421, and hast shedH8210 bloodH1818.

4Howbeit the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, choseH977 meH5921 outH5921 of allH3605 the houseH1004 of my fatherH1 to be kingH4428 over IsraelH3478 for everH5769: for he hath chosenH977 JudahH3063 to be princeH5057; and in the houseH1004 of JudahH3063, the houseH1004 of my fatherH1; and among the sonsH1121 of my fatherH1 he tookH1961 pleasureH7521 in meH5921 to makeH7521 meH5921 kingH4428 over allH3605 IsraelH3478:

5And of allH3605 my sonsH1121, (for the LORDH3068 hath givenH5414 meH5414 manyH7227 sonsH1121,) he hath chosenH977 SolomonH8010 my sonH1121 to sitH3427 uponH5921 the throneH3678 of the kingdomH4438 of the LORDH3068 over IsraelH3478.

6And he saidH559 unto meH589, SolomonH8010 thy sonH1121, he shall buildH1129 my houseH1004 and my courts: for I have chosenH977 him to be my sonH1121, and I will be his fatherH1.

7And I will establishH3559 his kingdomH4438 for everH5769, ifH518 he be constant to doH6213 my commandmentsH4687 and my judgmentsH4941, as at this dayH3117.

8NowH6258 therefore, in the sightH5869 of allH3605 IsraelH3478, the congregationH6951 of the LORDH3068, and in the audience of our GodH430, observeH8104 and seekH1875 outH3423 allH3605 the commandmentsH4687 of the LORDH3068 your GodH430: that ye may possessH3423 this goodH2896 landH776, and leaveH4616 it for an inheritanceH5157 to your childrenH1121 afterH310 youH3605 for everH5769.

9And thou, SolomonH8010 my sonH1121, knowH3045 thou the GodH430 of thy fatherH1, and serveH5647 him with a perfectH8003 heartH3820 and with a willingH2655 mindH3820: for the LORDH3068 searcheth allH3605 heartsH3820, and understandeth allH3605 the imaginations of the thoughtsH4284: ifH518 thou seekH1875 him, he will be foundH4672 of thee; but ifH518 thou forsakeH5800 him, he will cast thee offH853 for everH5703.
