1 Kings 8:22 - The Message

Before the entire congregation of Israel, Solomon took a position before the Altar, spread his hands out before heaven, and prayed,   O God, God of Israel, there is no God like you in the skies above or on the earth below who unswervingly keeps covenant with his servants and relentlessly loves them as they sincerely live in obedience to your way. You kept your word to David my father, your personal word. You did exactly what you promised—every detail. The proof is before us today!   Keep it up, God, O God of Israel! Continue to keep the promises you made to David my father when you said, "You’ll always have a descendant to represent my rule on Israel’s throne, on the condition that your sons are as careful to live obediently in my presence as you have."
