1 Chronicles 28:8-10
1599 Geneva Bible
8 Now therefore in the sight of all Israel the congregation of the Lord, and in the audience of our God, keep and seek for all the commandments of the Lord your God, that ye may possess this [a]good land, and leave it for an inheritance for your children after you [b]forever.
9 And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart, and with a willing mind: (A)For the Lord searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the imaginations of thoughts: if thou seek him, he will be found of thee, but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off forever.
10 Take heed now, for the Lord hath chosen thee to build [c]the house of the Sanctuary: be strong therefore and [d]do it.

8 “So now I charge you in the sight of all Israel(A) and of the assembly of the Lord, and in the hearing of our God: Be careful to follow all the commands(B) of the Lord your God, that you may possess this good land and pass it on as an inheritance to your descendants forever.(C)
9 “And you, my son Solomon, acknowledge the God of your father, and serve him with wholehearted devotion(D) and with a willing mind, for the Lord searches every heart(E) and understands every desire and every thought. If you seek him,(F) he will be found by you; but if you forsake(G) him, he will reject(H) you forever. 10 Consider now, for the Lord has chosen you to build a house as the sanctuary. Be strong and do the work.”
