7 And I will establish his kingdom for ever, it he continue to keep my commandments, and my judgments, as at this day.
8 Now then before all the assembly of Israel, in the hearing of our God, keep ye, and seek all the commandments of the Lord our God: that you may possess the good land, and may leave it to your children after you for ever.
9 And thou my son Solomon, know the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart, and a willing mind: for the Lord searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the thoughts of minds. If thou seek him, thou shalt find him: but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off for ever.
10 Now therefore seeing the Lord hath chosen thee to build the house of the sanctuary, take courage, and do it.
