1 Kings 8:26

And now, O God of Israel, let thy word, I pray thee, be
verified
Truly made good, and punctually performed:

which thou spakest unto thy servant David my father;

1 Kings 8:26 In-Context

24 You have kept the promise you made to your servant David, my father. You spoke it with your own mouth and finished it with your hands today.

25 Now Lord, God of Israel, keep the promise you made to your servant David, my father. You said, 'If your sons are careful to obey me as you have obeyed me, there will always be someone from your family ruling Israel.'

26 Now, God of Israel, please continue to keep that promise you made to your servant David, my father.

27 "But, God, can you really live here on the earth? The sky and the highest place in heaven cannot contain you. Surely this house which I have built cannot contain you.

28 But please listen to my prayer and my request, because I am your servant. Lord my God, hear this prayer your servant prays to you today.
