So I will take the kingdom away from Solomon’s family. But I will let Solomon be their ruler for the rest of his life. I will do this for my servant David. I chose David because he obeyed all my commands and laws.
But the Lord would not destroy Judah because of {the promise to} his servant David. The Lord had promised David that someone from his family would always be king.
One day in your temple is better\par than a thousand days in any other place.\par Standing at the gate of my God’s house\par is better than living in the house\par of a wicked man.\par
After this the people of Israel will come back. Then they will look for the Lord their God, and for David their king. In the last days, they will come to honor the Lord and his goodness.
