With my heart I desired to build a house of rest for the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, and for the footstoolof our God. And I made preparations tobuild. 3 But God said to me, You shall not build a house to My name, for you are a man of battles, and you have shed blood. 4 But Jehovah the God of Israel chose me out of all my father's house to be king over Israel forever. For He chose Judah as the ruler, and my father's house in the house of Judah; and among the sonsof my father He was pleased to make me kingover all Israel. 5 And of all my sons, for Jehovah has given me many sons, He has chosen my son Solomon to sit on the throne of the kingdom of Jehovah, over Israel. 6 And He said to me, Your son Solomon shall build My house and My courts, for I have chosen him as a son to Me, and I surely will be a Father to him. 7 And I will establish his kingdom forever, if he will be strong to do My commandments and My ordinances, as at this day. 8 And now in the sight of all Israel, the congregation of Jehovah, and in the hearing of our God, observe and seek out all the commandments of Jehovah your God that you may possess this good land, and cause your sons to inherit after you forever. 9 And you, my son Solomon, know the God of your father, and serve Him with a perfect heart, and with a willing mind. For Jehovah searches out all hearts, and He understands every imagination of thoughts. If you shall seek Him, He shall be foundby you. But if you forsake Him, He will reject you forever. 10 Watch, now, for Jehovah has chosen you to build a house for a sanctuary. Be strong and act.
