1 Kings 8:22-26

Solomon’s Prayer of Dedication 22Then Solomon stood before the altar of the LORD in front of the whole assembly of Israel, spread out his hands toward heaven

23and said: “ LORD, the God of Israel, there is no God like you in heaven above or on earth below—you who keep your covenant of love with your servants who continue wholeheartedly in your way.

24You have kept your promise to your servant David my father; with your mouth you have promised and with your hand you have fulfilled it—as it is today. 25“Now LORD, the God of Israel, keep for your servant David my father the promises you made to him when you said, ‘You shall never fail to have a successor to sit before me on the throne of Israel, if only your descendants are careful in all they do to walk before me faithfully as you have done.’

26And now, God of Israel, let your word that you promised your servant David my father come true.
