“We are yours, O David!

We support ⁴  you, O son of Jesse!

May you greatly prosper! ⁵ 

May those who help you prosper! ⁶ 

Indeed ⁷  your God helps you!”

So David accepted them and made them leaders of raiding bands.

22:5 David said, “My son Solomon is just an inexperienced young man, ¹²  and the temple to be built for the Lord must be especially magnificent so it will become famous and be considered splendid by all the nations. ¹³  Therefore I will make preparations for its construction.” So David made extensive preparations before he died.

1 Chronicles 28:9

28:9 “And you, Solomon my son, obey ¹⁸  the God of your father and serve him with a submissive attitude and a willing spirit, ¹⁹  for the Lord examines all minds and understands every motive of one’s thoughts. If you seek him, he will let you find him, ²⁰  but if you abandon him, he will reject you permanently.
