NSB(i)
7 »‘I will establish his kingdom for a very long time if he will remain determined to obey my commands and laws, as he is doing today.’«
8 »I order you in the sight of Israel, Jehovah’s congregation. And as our God listens dedicate your lives to doing everything Jehovah your God has commanded. Then you will be able to possess this good land and leave it as an inheritance for your descendants.
9 »You my son Solomon, learn to know your father’s God. Serve Jehovah wholeheartedly and willingly because he searches every heart and understands every thought we have. If you dedicate your life to serving him, he will accept you. On the other hand if you abandon him, he will reject you from then on.
