1 Kings 3:3Douay-Rheims version of The Bible - 1752 versionAnd Solomon loved the Lord, walking in the precepts of David his father. Only he sacrificed in the high places, and burnt incense. See the chapter |
If then thou wilt hearken to all that I shall command thee, and wilt walk in my ways, and do what is right before me, keeping my commandments and my precepts, as David my servant did: I will be with thee, and will build thee up a faithful house, as I built a house for David; and I will deliver Israel to thee.
Now therefore, O Lord God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father what thou hast spoken to him, saying: There shall not be taken away of thee a man in my sight, to sit on the throne of Israel; yet so that thy children take heed to their way, that they walk before me as thou hast walked in my sight.
