1 Kings 8:24-26

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁴ Who hast kept with thy servant David my father what thou hast promised him: with thy mouth thou didst speak, and with thy hands thou hast performed, as this day proveth.

²⁵ Now therefore, O Lord God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father what thou hast spoken to him, saying: There shall not be taken away of thee a man in my sight, to sit on the throne of Israel: yet so that thy children take heed to their way, that they walk before me as thou hast walked in my sight.

²⁶ And now, Lord God of Israel, let thy words be established, which thou hast spoken to thy servant David my father.
