- thy children:
- "That¹ the LORDª may continueª°¹ his wordª which¹ he spakeª° concerning¹ me, saying,ª° If¹ thy childrenª take heedª° to¹ their way,ª to walk²°¹ beforeª me in truthª with all¹ their heartª and with all¹ their soul,ª there shall not¹ failª° thee (saidª° he) a manª on¹¹ the throneª of Israel.ª" {1Kg 2:4} + "And if¹ thou¹ wilt walk²°¹ beforeª me, as¹ Davidª thy fatherª walked,ª° in integrityª of heart,ª and in uprightness,ª to doª° according to all¹ that¹ I have commandedª° thee, [and] wilt keepª° my statutesª and my judgments:ª ... [But] if¹ ye shall at all²° turnª° from followingª¹ me, ye¹ or your children,ª and will not¹ keepª° my commandmentsª [and] my statutesª which¹ I have setª° beforeª you, but goª° and serveª° otherª gods,ª and worshipª° them:" {1Kg 9:4-6} + "And thou,¹ Solomonª my son,ª knowª° thou¹ the Godª of thy father,ª and serveª° him with a perfectª heartª and with a willingª mind:ª for¹ the LORDª searchethª° all¹ hearts,ª and understandethª° all¹ the imaginationsª of the thoughts:ª if¹ thou seekª° him, he will be foundª° of thee; but if¹ thou forsakeª° him, he will cast thee offª° for ever.²¹" {1Ch 28:9} + "Now¹ therefore, O LORDª Godª of Israel,ª keepª° with thy servantª Davidª my fatherª¹ that which¹ thou hast promisedª° him, saying,ª° There shall not¹ failª° thee a manª in my sightª¹ to sitª° upon¹ the throneª of Israel;ª yet soª that thy childrenª take heedª°¹ to their wayª to walk²°¹ in my law,ª as¹ thou hast walkedª° beforeª me. ... Now¹ then, O LORDª Godª of Israel,ª let thy wordª be verified,ª° which¹ thou hast spokenª° unto thy servantª David.ª" {2Ch 6:16-17}
