1 Kings 1:46-48

Evangelical Heritage Version

⁴⁶ Also, Solomon has taken his seat on the throne of the kingdom. ⁴⁷ The king’s servants have come to bless our lord King David, saying, “May your God treat the name of Solomon even more favorably than your name, and may his throne be greater than your throne.”

The king bowed in worship on his bed, ⁴⁸ and the king spoke the following words: “Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, who today has provided someone to sit upon my throne and has permitted my eyes to see it.”
