1 Chronicles 28:5 Context
3But God said vnto me, Thou shalt not builde an house for my Name, because thou hast been a man of warre, and hast shed blood. 4Howbeit, the Lord God of Israel chose me before all the house of my father, to be king ouer Israel for euer: for he hath chosen Iudah to be the ruler; & of the house of Iudah, the house of my father; and among the sonnes of my father, he liked me to make me king ouer all Israel: 5And of all my sonnes (for the Lord hath giuen me many sonnes) hee hath chosen Solomon my sonne, to sit vpon the throne of the kingdome of the Lord ouer Israel. 6And he said vnto me, Solomon thy sonne, hee shall build my house and my courts: for I haue chosen him to be my sonne, and I will be his father. 7Moreouer, I will establish his kingdome for euer, if he be constant to do my commandements and my iudgements, as at this day.
