1 Chronicles 28:8

Read in context

1 Chronicles 28:6–10 · Berean Standard Bible

6 And He said to me, ‘Solomon your son is the one who will build My house and My courts, for I have chosen him as My son, and I will be his Father.

7 I will establish his kingdom forever, if he resolutely carries out My commandments and ordinances, as is being done this day.’

8 So now in the sight of all Israel, the assembly of the LORD, and in the hearing of our God, keep and seek out all the commandments of the LORD your God, so that you may possess this good land and leave it as an inheritance to your descendants forever.

9 As for you, Solomon my son, know the God of your father and serve Him wholeheartedly and with a willing mind, for the LORD searches every heart and understands the intent of every thought. If you seek Him, He will be found by you; but if you forsake Him, He will reject you forever.

10 Consider now that the LORD has chosen you to build a house for the sanctuary. Be strong and do it.”
