1 Chronicles 28:5-7

Revised Geneva Translation

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.

⁷ ‘Therefore, I will establish his kingdom forever if he is strong in doing My Commandments and My Judgments, as it is this day.’
