David praised the Lord before the entire assembly: “O Lord God of our father Israel, you deserve praise forevermore!

So now, in the sight of all Israel, the Lord’s assembly, and in the hearing of our God, I say this: Carefully observe 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.

The Lord greatly magnified Solomon before all Israel and bestowed on him greater majesty than any king of Israel before him.
