5 (A)Of all my sons (for the Lord has given me many sons), (B)He has chosen my son Solomon to sit on the throne of the kingdom of the Lord over Israel. 6 He said to me, ‘Your son (C)Solomon is the one who shall build My house and My courts; for I have chosen him to be a son to Me, and I will be a father to him. 7 I will establish his kingdom forever (D)if he resolutely performs My commandments and My ordinances, as (a)is done now.’
