1 Chronicles 28:7

7 I will guarantee that his kingdom will last if he continues to be as strong-minded in doing what I command and carrying out my decisions as he is doing now.'

1 Chronicles 28:7 Meaning and Commentary

1 Chronicles 28:7

Moreover, I will establish his kingdom for ever
The same is said in ( 2 Samuel 7:13 )

if he be constant to do my commandments, and my judgments, as at this
day;
if he continued in the observance of them, as he had begun, and went on in until that day; this is added here, and was not spoken by Nathan, when what goes before was; for Solomon was not then born, but must be suggested to David since, and as it should seem at this time.

1 Chronicles 28:7 In-Context

5 And then from all my sons - and God gave me many! - he chose my son Solomon to sit on the throne of God's rule over Israel.
6 He went on to say, 'Your son Solomon will build my house and my courts: I have chosen him to be my royal adopted son; and I will be to him a father.
7 I will guarantee that his kingdom will last if he continues to be as strong-minded in doing what I command and carrying out my decisions as he is doing now.'
8 "And now, in this public place, all Israel looking on and God listening in, as God's people, obey and study every last one of the commandments of your God so that you can make the most of living in this good land and pass it on intact to your children, insuring a good future.
9 "And you, Solomon my son, get to know well your father's God; serve him with a whole heart and eager mind, for God examines every heart and sees through every motive. If you seek him, he'll make sure you find him, but if you abandon him, he'll leave you for good.
