1 Chronicles 28:5-7

Expanded Bible

⁵ The Lord has given me many sons, and from those sons he has chosen Solomon to ·be the new king [^Lsit on the throne] of Israel. Israel is the Lord’s kingdom. ⁶ The Lord said to me, ‘Your son Solomon will build my ·Temple [^Lhouse] and ·its courtyards [my courts]. I have chosen Solomon to be my son, and I will be his father. ⁷ He is obeying my laws and commands now. If he continues ·to obey them [resolutely; unswervingly], I will ·make his kingdom strong [establish/secure his kingdom] forever.’”
