17
As for you, if you walk before me, as your father David walked, doing according to all that I have commanded you and keeping my statutes and my ordinances,
18
then I will establish your royal throne, as I made covenant with your father David saying, "You shall never lack a successor to rule over Israel.'

21
And regarding this house, now exalted, everyone passing by will be astonished, and say, "Why has the Lord done such a thing to this land and to this house?'
