1 Chronicles 28:3-5
English Standard Version

(D)For he chose Judah as leader, and in the house of Judah my father's (E)house, and among my father's sons he took pleasure in me to make me king over all Israel. 5 And of (F)all my sons (for the Lord has given me many sons) he (G)has chosen Solomon my son to sit on the throne of the kingdom of the Lord over Israel.
