11 The Lord took away his sins
and exalted his power[a] forever;
he gave him a covenant of kingship
and a glorious throne in Israel.(A)
Solomon
12 After him a wise son rose up
who because of him lived in security:[b]

because God gave him rest all around,
so that he might build a house in his name
and provide a sanctuary to stand forever.(B)
