1 Kings 6:12Wycliffe's Bible with Modern SpellingThis is the house, which thou buildest; if thou goest in my behests, and doest my dooms, and keepest all my commandments, and goest by those [or them], I shall make steadfast my word to thee, which word I spake to David, thy father; See the chapter |
Now therefore, Lord God of Israel, keep thou to thy servant David, my father, those things which thou spakest to him, and saidest, A man of thee shall not be taken away from before me, which man shall sit on the throne of Israel, so nevertheless if thy sons keep thy way, that they go before me, as thou wentest in my sight.
But thou, Solomon, my son, know [thou] the God of thy father, and serve thou him with perfect heart, and with a willful soul, or mind; for the Lord searcheth all hearts, and he understand-eth all the thoughts of souls; if thou seekest him, thou shalt find him; forsooth if thou forsakest him, he shall cast thee away without end.
