1 Kings 1:46-48

GOD’S WORD Translation

⁴⁶ Solomon is now seated on the royal throne. ⁴⁷ Furthermore, the royal officials have come ⌞to congratulate⌟ His Majesty King David, saying, ‘May your God make Solomon’s name more famous than yours and his reign greater than your reign.’ The king himself bowed down on his bed ⁴⁸ and said, ‘Praise the Lord God of Israel who has let me see the heir to my throne.’ ”
