LORD God of Israel,
there is no God like you
in heaven above or on earth below,
who keeps the gracious covenant
with your servants who walk before you
with all their heart.

to your servant, my father David.
You spoke directly to him
and you fulfilled your promise by your power
as it is today.
Therefore, LORD God of Israel,

to sit before me on the throne of Israel,
if only your sons take care to walk before me
as you have walked before me.

“ ‘After that, if you obey all I command you, walk in my ways, and do what is right in my sight in order to keep my statutes and my commands as my servant David did, I will be with you. I will build you a lasting dynasty just as I built for David, and I will give you Israel.
and the prophet cried out to the man of God who had come from Judah, “This is what the LORD says: ‘Because you rebelled against the LORD’s command and did not keep the command that the LORD your God commanded you —
