“ ‘But I nor go take all di kingdom from Solomon. I go make am rule till e die. Dis na wetin I go do, bikos of David my savant, wey I choose and e obey my laws and kommand.
If yu obey and follow my laws and yu win my heart as yu dey obey my kommand, just as David my savant do, I go always dey with yu. I go make yu king for Israel and I go make sure sey yor shidren-shidren go rule afta yu, just as I do for David.
E do like en papa Asa kon dey obey and do only di tins wey God wont, but e nor skata di place where dem for dey woship juju, so di pipol kontinue to burn incense and offa sakrifice to dia juju.
Solomon ansa, “Yu show great love to David my papa wey bi yor savant and e dey good, dey respet and always dey honor Yu. Yu still show am yor great love wey nor dey end, wen Yu make one of en pikin king afta am.
And naw, my Oga! Yu wey bi Israel pipol God, I dey pray make Yu do all di oda tins wey Yu promise my papa wen Yu sey, na only en shidren-shidren go bi king for Israel, as long as dem obey Yu, just as dia papa, David obey Yu.
Jehoash tell di priests, “All di silva wey dey God Temple, di ones wey dem kollect wen dem dey kount di pipol, all di silva wey dem kollect as vow and di ones wey pipol just drop on dia own, make una use dem ripair di Temple.
May bi yu go tell mi sey, “Wi dey trust di Oga awa God.” But na Hezekaya skata en high place, distroy en altars kon tell Judah and Jerusalem pipol sey, “Una must dey woship for only dis altar for Jerusalem.”
E distroy di high place dem with dia juju, shrine and Asherah juju. E still distroy di bronze snake wey Moses make, bikos till dat time, Israel pipol still dey offa sakrifice gi-am. Dem dey koll am, “Nehushtan.”
All of una wey dey fear and obey God, make una love am! Bikos God dey protet pipol wey dey loyal to am, but E dey vex ponish doz wey dey do wiked tins.
Like dis, wetin Israel pipol won sakrifice for di open field to God for di tent gate, dem go gi-am to di priest, den e go sakrifice am as peace ofrin to God.
Naw, Israel pipol, wetin di Oga una God wont from unasef? E wont make una dey fear am kon dey live di kind life wey E wont make una live. E wont make una love, respet and serve am with all una soul and heart.
If una obey di Oga una God kommand wey I dey give una today so, den una kon love di Oga una God; dey do as E tok; dey keep en rules, law and kommand, una go get long life kon dey many more-more and di Oga una God go bless una for di land wey una won enter as una own.
Den una go love di Oga wey bi una God kon dey obey en vois and hold am strong, bikos God go give una long life for di land wey E promise to give una grand-grand papa Abraham, Isaak and Jakob.”
Di pesin wey fit bear wen problem kom meet am, make e happy, bikos e don show sey en faith strong and e go get di crown wey get life, wey God don promise sey E go give pipol wey love am.
My brodas and sistas, make una listin! God nor choose poor pipol for dis world sey, make dem rish for faith and inherit di kingdom wey E promise sey E go give doz wey love am?
Di girls ansa, “Yes! Make una still waka go strait. But una go waka fast, bikos na today e kom di town and di pipol dey do sakrifice for di altar wey dey di hill.
