David's Charge To Israel

6 He told me: 'Your son Solomon will build my Temple and my courtyards because I have chosen him to be my son. I will be his father. 7 I will establish his kingdom forever if he resolutely performs My commandments and My ordinances, as is done now.’ 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.
