1 Chronicles 28:9-10

Solomon Instructed to Build the Temple

⁹“As for you, my son Solomon, know the God of your father, and serve Him with a loyal heart and with a willing mind; for the Lord searches all hearts and understands all the intent of the thoughts. If you seek Him, He will be found by you; but if you forsake Him, He will cast you off forever. ¹⁰Consider now, for the Lord has chosen you to build a house for the sanctuary; be strong, and do it.”
