Sirach 47:11-13
Common English Bible
11 The Lord took away David’s sins,
and he exalted his power[a] forever.
He established his kingdom by agreement;
and a glorious throne in Israel.
Solomon
12 After David a well-instructed son arose,
and because of David,
he enjoyed a large kingdom.[b]
13 Solomon reigned at a time of peace.
God gave him tranquillity on every side,
so that he might build a house
for God’s name
and prepare a sanctuary
that would last forever.
