1 Chronicles 28:5-7

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

⁵ And of all my sons, for the Lord has given me many sons, He has chosen Solomon my son to sit upon the throne of the kingdom of the Lord over Israel.

⁶ And He said to me, Solomon your son shall build My house and My courts, for I have chosen him to be My son, and I will be his father.

⁷ I will establish his kingdom forever if he loyally and continuously obeys My commandments and My ordinances, as he does today.
