Leeser⁽ⁱ⁾ ⁵ And of all my sons,—for the Lord hath given me many sons,—hath he made choice of Solomon my son, to sit upon the throne of the kingdom of the Lord over Israel. ⁶ And he hath said unto me, Solomon thy son it is that shall build my house and my courts; for I have made choice of him to be as a son unto me, and I will be indeed to him as a father. ⁷ Moreover, I will firmly establish his kingdom for everlasting, if he be strong to execute my commandments and my ordinances as it is this day.
