4 However the Lord God of Israel achose me above all the house of my father to be king over Israel forever, for He has chosen bJudah to be the ruler. And of the house of Judah, cthe house of my father, and damong the sons of my father, He was pleased with me to make me king over all Israel.
5 aAnd of all my sons (for the Lord has given me many sons) bHe has chosen my son Solomon to sit on the throne of the kingdom of the Lord over Israel.
6 Now He said to me, ‘It is ayour son Solomon who shall build My house and My courts; for I have chosen him to be My son, and I will be his Father.
7 Moreover I will establish his kingdom forever, aif he is steadfast to observe My commandments and My judgments, as it is this day.’
8 Now therefore, in the sight of all Israel, the assembly of the Lord, and in the hearing of our God, be careful to seek out all the commandments of the Lord your God, that you may possess this good land, and leave it as an inheritance for your children after you forever.
