SCRIPTURE

"And it shall be, if thou wilt hearken unto all that I command thee, and wilt walk in my ways, and do that which is right in mine eyes, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as David my servant did; that I will be with thee, and will build thee a sure house, as I built for David, and will give Israel unto thee." — 1 Kings 11:38 (ASV)

And it shall be, if thou wilt hearken unto all that I command thee And be obedient thereunto:

and wilt walk in my ways ; directed to in the law of Moses:

and do that is right in my sight, to keep my statutes, and my commandments ; those particularly respecting divine worship:

as David my servant did ; who very diligently and constantly attended to the ordinances of religion:

that I will be with thee ; to guide and direct, protect and defend, prosper and succeed:

and build thee a sure house, as I built for David ; continue the succession of the kingdom in his posterity:

and will give Israel unto thee; to rule over them .
