24 But if you are careful to obey me, declares the Lord, and bring no load through the gates of this city on the Sabbath, but keep the Sabbath day holy(A) by not doing any work on it, 25 then kings who sit on David’s throne(B) will come through the gates of this city with their officials. They and their officials will come riding in chariots and on horses, accompanied by the men of Judah and those living in Jerusalem, and this city will be inhabited forever.(C) 26 People will come from the towns of Judah and the villages around Jerusalem, from the territory of Benjamin and the western foothills, from the hill country and the Negev,(D) bringing burnt offerings and sacrifices, grain offerings and incense, and bringing thank offerings to the house of the Lord.
