2 Chronicles 6:15-17
1599 Geneva Bible
15 Thou that hast kept with thy servant David my father, that thou hast promised him: for thou spakest with thy mouth, and hast fulfilled it with thine [a]hand, as appeareth this day.
16 Therefore now, Lord God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father, that thou hast promised him, saying, Thou [b]shalt not want a man in my sight, that shall sit upon the throne of Israel, so that thy sons take heed to their ways to walk in my Law, as thou hast walked before me.
17 And now, O Lord God of Israel, let thy word be verified, which thou spakest unto thy servant David.

New International Version
15 You have kept your promise to your servant David my father; with your mouth you have promised(A) and with your hand you have fulfilled it—as it is today.
16 “Now, Lord, the God of Israel, keep for your servant David my father the promises you made to him when you said, ‘You shall never fail(B) to have a successor to sit before me on the throne of Israel, if only your descendants are careful in all they do to walk before me according to my law,(C) as you have done.’ 17 And now, Lord, the God of Israel, let your word that you promised your servant David come true.
