And out of all my sons #– #for the Lord has given me many sons #– #he has chosen my son Solomon to sit on the throne of the Lord’s kingdom over Israel.
Pay attention and come to me; listen, so that you will live. I will make a permanent covenant with you on the basis of the faithful kindnesses of David. ,
And Solomon replied, ‘You have shown great and faithful love to your servant, my father David, because he walked before you in faithfulness, righteousness, and integrity. You have continued this great and faithful love for him by giving him a son to sit on his throne, as it is today.
