1 Chronicles 28:6-8

Expanded Bible

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.’”

⁸ David said, “Now, in ·front [the sight] of all Israel, the assembly of the Lord, and in the hearing of God, I tell you these things: Be careful to ·obey [observe; follow] all the commands of the Lord your God. Then you will ·keep [possess] this good land and ·pass it on [^Lleave it as an inheritance] to your ·descendants [children] forever.
