David’s Charge to Solomon
9“And you, Solomon my son, know the God of your father and serve him with a cwhole heart and with a willing mind, dfor the Lord searches all hearts and understands every plan and thought. eIf you seek him, he will be found by you, but if you forsake him, he will cast you off forever.2 Chronicles 7:17-22
17And as for you, if you will walk before me as David your father walked, doing according to all that I have commanded you and keeping my statutes and my rules, 18then I will establish your royal throne, as I covenanted with David your father, saying, f‘You shall not lack a man to rule Israel.’19 g“But if you ▼
▼The Hebrew for you is plural here
turn aside and forsake my statutes and my commandments that I have set before you, and go and serve other gods and worship them, 20 ithen I will pluck you ▼▼Hebrew them; twice in this verse
up from my land that I have given you, and this house that I have consecrated for my name, I will cast out of my sight, and I will make it ka proverb and a byword among all peoples. 21And at this house, which was exalted, everyone passing by will be astonished and say, l‘Why has the Lord done thus to this land and to this house?’ 22Then they will say, ‘Because they abandoned the Lord, the God of their fathers who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and laid hold on other gods and worshiped them and served them. Therefore he has brought all this disaster on them.’” Psalms 132:12
12If your sons keep my covenantand my testimonies that I shall teach them,
their sons also forever
shall msit on your throne.”
