2 Chronicles 7:16-18

Common English Bible

¹⁶ because I have chosen this temple and declared it holy so that my name may be there forever. My eyes and my heart will always be there. ¹⁷ As for you, if you will walk before me just as your father David did, doing all that I have commanded you and keeping my regulations and case laws, ¹⁸ then I will establish your royal throne, just as I promised your father David: You will never fail to have a successor ruling in Israel.
