5 And of all my sons (for the Lord has given me ^zmany sons) ^ahe has chosen Solomon my son to sit on the throne of the kingdom of the Lord over Israel.

8 ^cBlessed be the Lord your God, who has delighted in you and set you on his throne as king for the Lord your God! Because your God ^dloved Israel and would establish them forever, he has made you king over them, that you may execute justice and righteousness.”
