2 Then David the king stood up on his feet and said, “Hear me, my brothers and my people! As for me, it was in my heart to build a house of rest for the ark of Yahweh’s covenant, and for the footstool of our God; and I had prepared for the building.
KJVThen DavidH1732 the kingH4428 stood upH6965(H8799) upon his feetH7272, and saidH559(H8799), HearH8085(H8798) me, my brethrenH251, and my peopleH5971: As for me, I had in mine heartH3824 to buildH1129(H8800) an houseH1004 of restH4496 for the arkH727 of the covenantH1285 of the LORDH3068, and for the footstoolH1916H7272 of our GodH430, and had made readyH3559(H8689) for the buildingH1129(H8800):
3 But God said to me, ‘You shall not build a house for my name, because you are a man of war and have shed blood.’
KJVBut GodH430 saidH559(H8804) unto me, Thou shalt not buildH1129(H8799) an houseH1004 for my nameH8034, because thou hast been a manH376 of warH4421, and hast shedH8210(H8804) bloodH1818.
4 However Yahweh, the God of Israel, chose me out of all the house of my father to be king over Israel forever. For he has chosen Judah to be prince; and in the house of Judah, the house of my father; and among the sons of my father he took pleasure in me to make me king over all Israel.
KJVHowbeit the LORDH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478 choseH977(H8799) me before all the houseH1004 of my fatherH1 to be kingH4428 over IsraelH3478 for everH5769: for he hath chosenH977(H8804) JudahH3063 to be the rulerH5057; and of the houseH1004 of JudahH3063, the houseH1004 of my fatherH1; and among the sonsH1121 of my fatherH1 he likedH7521(H8804) me to make me kingH4427(H8687) over all IsraelH3478:
5 Of all my sons (for Yahweh has given me many sons), he has chosen Solomon my son to sit on the throne of Yahweh’s kingdom over Israel.
KJVAnd of all my sonsH1121,(for the LORDH3068 hath givenH5414(H8804) me manyH7227 sonsH1121,) he hath chosenH977(H8799) SolomonH8010 my sonH1121 to sitH3427(H8800) upon the throneH3678 of the kingdomH4438 of the LORDH3068 over IsraelH3478.

7 I will establish his kingdom forever if he continues to do my commandments and my ordinances, as it is today.’
KJVMoreover I will establishH3559(H8689) his kingdomH4438 for everH5769, if he be constantH2388(H8799) to doH6213(H8800) my commandmentsH4687 and my judgmentsH4941, as at this dayH3117.

9 You, Solomon my son, know the God of your father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind; for Yahweh searches all hearts, and understands all the imaginations of the thoughts. If you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you forsake him, he will cast you off forever.
KJVAnd thou, SolomonH8010 my sonH1121, knowH3045(H8798) thou the GodH430 of thy fatherH1, and serveH5647(H8798) him with a perfectH8003 heartH3820 and with a willingH2655 mindH5315: for the LORDH3068 searchethH1875(H8802) all heartsH3824, and understandethH995(H8688) all the imaginationsH3336 of the thoughtsH4284: if thou seekH1875(H8799) him, he will be foundH4672(H8735) of thee; but if thou forsakeH5800(H8799) him, he will cast thee offH2186(H8686) for everH5703.
