1 Chronicles 28:6 In-Context

4 The LORD, the God of Israel, chose me from my whole household to become king over Israel forever. He chose Judah as leader, and within Judah's family, my household, and among my father's family he was pleased with me, making me king over all Israel.

5 And from all the many sons the LORD has given me, he has chosen my son Solomon to sit on the throne of the LORD's kingdom over Israel.

6 He said to me: Your son Solomon will build my temple and my courtyards, for I've chosen him to become my son even as I myself will become his father.

7 I'll establish his kingdom forever if he remains committed to keeping my commands and case laws as he does now.

8 So now, in the presence of all the LORD's assembly and with God as our witness, carefully observe all the commands of the LORD your God, so that you may hold on to this good land and pass it on to your children forever.
