2 Chronicles 6:15-17

New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition

¹⁵ you who have kept for your servant, my father David, what you promised to him. Indeed, you promised with your mouth and this day have fulfilled with your hand. ¹⁶ Therefore, O Lord, God of Israel, keep for your servant, my father David, that which you promised him, saying, ‘There shall never fail you a successor before me to sit on the throne of Israel, if only your children keep to their way, to walk in my law as you have walked before me.’ ¹⁷ Therefore, O Lord, God of Israel, let your word be confirmed, which you promised to your servant David.
