1 Chronicles 28:4-6

Revised Geneva Translation

⁴ “Still, the LORD God of Israel chose me before all the House of my father, to be king over Israel forever (for He would choose a prince in Judah, and of the House of Judah is the House of my father, and among the sons of my father He delighted in me to make me king over all Israel).

⁵ “So of all my sons (for the LORD has given me many sons), He has chosen Solomon, my son, to sit upon the throne of the kingdom of the LORD, over Israel.

⁶ “And He said to me, ‘Solomon, your son, he shall build My House and My courts. For I have chosen him to be My son. And I will be his Father.
