1 Chronicles 28:7-9
Context28:7 I will establish his kingdom permanently, if he remains committed to obeying my commands and regulations, as you are doing this day.’ 1 28:8 So now, in the sight of all Israel, the Lord’s assembly, and in the hearing of our God, I say this: 2 Carefully observe 3 all the commands of the Lord your God, so that you may possess this good land and may leave it as a permanent inheritance for your children after you.
28:9 “And you, Solomon my son, obey 4 the God of your father and serve him with a submissive attitude and a willing spirit, 5 for the Lord examines all minds and understands every motive of one’s thoughts. If you seek him, he will let you find him, 6 but if you abandon him, he will reject you permanently.
