2 Chronicles 6:6; 2 Chronicles 6:7; 2 Chronicles 6:12; 2 Chronicles 6:16

6 But now I have chosen Jerusalem for my Name to be there, and I have chosen David to rule my people Israel.’

7 “My father David had it in his heart to build a temple for the Name of the LORD, the God of Israel.

12 Then Solomon stood before the altar of the LORD in front of the whole assembly of Israel and spread out his hands.

16 “Now, LORD, the God of Israel, keep for your servant David my father the promises you made to him when you said, ‘You shall never fail to have a successor to sit before me on the throne of Israel, if only your descendants are careful in all they do to walk before me according to my law, as you have done.’
