Now therefore, O LORD God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father that which thou hast promised him, saying, There shall not fail thee a man in my sight to sit upon the throne of Israel; yet so that thy children take heed to their way to walk in my law, as thou hast walked before me.(2 Chronicles 6:16)

Now then, O LORD God of Israel, let thy word be verified, which thou hast spoken unto thy servant David.(2 Chronicles 6:17)

But will God in very deed dwell with men on the earth? behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house which I have built!(2 Chronicles 6:18)

That thine eyes may be open upon this house day and night, upon the place whereof thou hast said that thou wouldest put thy name there; to hearken unto the prayer which thy servant prayeth toward this place.(2 Chronicles 6:20)

Hearken therefore unto the supplications of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, which they shall make toward this place: hear thou from thy dwelling place, even from heaven; and when thou hearest, forgive.(2 Chronicles 6:21)

If a man sin against his neighbor, and an oath be laid upon him to make him swear, and the oath come before thine altar in this house;(2 Chronicles 6:22)
