And Shlomo (Solomon) [peace] said, youi have showed unto youi servant David [beloved] my father great mercy, according as he walked before youi in truth, and in righteousness, and in uprightness of heart with youi; and youi have kept for him this great kindness, that youi have given him a son to sit on his throne, as [it is] this day.
That youi may love the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) youi God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], [and] that youi may obey his voice, and that youi may cling to (hold onto; stick to) him: for he [is] youi life, and the length of youi days: that youi may dwell in the land which the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) swore unto youi fathers, to Avraham [Exalted Father], to Yitz’khak [Laughter], and to Ya’akov [Heal of God], to give them.
And the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) youi God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] will circumcise youi heart, and the heart of youi seed, to love the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) youi God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] with all youi heart, and with all youi soul, that youi may live.
And now, Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], what does the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) youi God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] require of youi, but to fear the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) youi God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], to walk in all his ways, and to love him, and to serve the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) youi God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] with all youi heart and with all youi soul,
But if you2f say unto me, We trust in the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) our God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered]: [is] not that he, whose high places and whose altars Hizkiyahu [Yehovah is my strength] has taken away, and has said to Y’hudah [Let Him (God) Be Praised] and Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace], You2f shall worship before this altar in Yerushalayim [Foundation of Peace]?
He removed the high places, and broke the images, and cut down the groves, and broke in pieces the brazen serpent that Moshe [He Who Draws Out Of The Waters] had made: for unto those days the people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] did burn incense to it: and he called it N’chushtan [the bronze].
And he walked in all the ways of Asa [healer; injurious?] his father; he turned not aside from it, doing [that which was] right in the eyes of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate): nevertheless the high places were not taken away; [for] the people offered and burnt incense yet in the high places.
And it shall be, if youi will hearken unto all that I command youi, and will walk in my ways, and do [that is] right in my sight, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as David [beloved] my servant did; that I will be with youi, and build youi a sure house, as I built for David [beloved], and will give Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] unto youi.
To the end that the people of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] may bring their sacrifices, which they offer in the open field, even that they may bring them unto the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, unto the priest, and offer them [for] peace offerings unto the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate).
Therefore now, Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God], keep with youri servant David [beloved] my father that youi promised him, saying, There shall not fail youi a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God]; so that youri children take heed to their way, that they walk before me as youi have walked before me.
And Y’ho’ash [given by the Lord] said to the priests, All the money of the dedicated things that is brought into the house of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate), [even] the money of everyone that passes [the account], the money that every man is set at, [and] all the money that comes into any man’s heart to bring into the house of the Lord-Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate),
