1 Chronicles 28:9

David's Charge To Solomon

⁸ I order you in the sight of Israel, Jehovah's congregation. And as our God listens dedicate your lives to doing everything Jehovah your God has commanded. Then you will be able to possess this good land and leave it as an inheritance for your descendants. ⁹ “As for you, my son Solomon, know the God of your father, and serve Him with a whole heart and a willing mind; for the Lord searches all hearts, and understands every intent of the thoughts. If you seek Him, He will let you find Him; but if you forsake Him, He will reject you forever. ¹⁰ So be careful, because Jehovah has chosen you to build the Temple as his holy place. Be strong, and do it.
