1 Chronicles 28:9-11

Common English Bible

⁹ As for you, Solomon, my son, acknowledge your father’s God and serve him with enthusiastic devotion, because the Lord searches every mind and understands the motive behind every thought. If you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you abandon him, he will reject you forever. ¹⁰ Now then, since the Lord has chosen you to build a temple for him^[a] as the sanctuary, work hard.
