1 Chronicles 28:8

28:8 So now, in the sight of all Israel, the Lord’s assembly, and in the hearing of our God, I say this: ¹  Carefully observe ²  all the commands of the Lord your God, so that you may possess this good land and may leave it as a permanent inheritance for your children after you.

1 Chronicles 28:20

28:20 David said to his son Solomon: “Be strong and brave! Do it! Don’t be afraid and don’t panic! ³  For the Lord God, my God, is with you. He will not leave you or abandon you before all the work for the service of the Lord’s temple is finished.
