1 Chronicles 28:5-7

Common English Bible

⁵ And from all the many sons the Lord has given me, he has chosen my son Solomon to sit on the throne of the Lord’s kingdom over Israel. ⁶ He said to me: Your son Solomon will build my temple and my courtyards, for I’ve chosen him to become my son even as I myself will become his father. ⁷ I’ll establish his kingdom forever if he remains committed to keeping my commands and case laws as he does now.
