"And I will make firm his kingdom, even unto eternity, if he will persevere in doing my precepts and judgments, as also today.’ "
— 1 Chronicles 28:7, Catholic Public Domain Version
“Moreover I will establish his kingdom for ever, if he be constant to do my commandments and my judgments, as at this day.”
“And I will establish his kingdom for ever, if he be constant to do my commandments and mine ordinances, as at this day. ”
“I will establish his kingdom forever, if he continues to do my commandments and my ordinances, as at this day.'”
“I will establish his kingdom permanently, if he remains committed to obeying my commands and regulations, as you are doing this day.’”
“And I will establish his kingdom for ever, it he continue to keep my commandments, and my judgments, as at this day.”
“I will keep his kingdom in its place for ever, if he is strong at all times to do my orders and keep my rules, as at this day.”
“Moreover I will establish his kingdom for ever, if he be constant to do my commandments and my judgments, as at this day.”
Now the Lord God of Israel chose me, out of the entire house of my father, so that I would be king over Israel forever. For from Judah he chose leaders; then from the house of Judah he chose the house of my father; and from the sons of my father, it pleased him to choose me as king over all of Israel.
Then too, among my sons (for the Lord has given me many sons) he chose Solomon my son, so that he would sit upon the throne of the kingdom of the Lord, over Israel.
And he said to me: ‘Solomon your son shall build my house and my courts. For I have chosen him to be to me as a son, and I will be to him as a father.
And I will make firm his kingdom, even unto eternity, if he will persevere in doing my precepts and judgments, as also today.’
Now therefore, before the entire assembly of Israel, in the hearing of our God, keep and seek all the commandments of the Lord our God, so that you may possess the good land, and may bequeath it to your sons after you, even forever.
And as for you, my son Solomon, know the God of your father, and serve him with a perfect heart and a willing mind. For the Lord searches all hearts, and understands the thoughts of all minds. If you seek him, you will find him. But if you abandon him, he will cast you aside for eternity.
Now therefore, since the Lord has chosen you, so that you would build the house of the Sanctuary, be strengthened and accomplish it.”
