2 Chronicles 7:16-18

New American Standard Bible

¹⁶ For ^(A)now I have chosen and consecrated this house so that My name may be there forever, and My eyes and My heart will be there ^[a]always. ¹⁷ As for you, if you walk before Me as your father David walked, to do according to everything that I have commanded you, and keep My statutes and My ordinances, ¹⁸ then I will establish your royal throne as I covenanted with your father David, saying, ‘^[b](B)You shall not lack a man to be ruler in Israel.’
