New Testament

1 Kings 9:4-7 Good News Bible (GNB)

4. If you will serve me in honesty and integrity, as your father David did, and if you obey my laws and do everything I have commanded you,

5. I will keep the promise I made to your father David when I told him that Israel would always be ruled by his descendants.

6. But if you or your descendants stop following me, if you disobey the laws and commands I have given you, and worship other gods,

7. then I will remove my people Israel from the land that I have given them. I will also abandon this Temple which I have consecrated as the place where I am to be worshipped. People everywhere will ridicule Israel and treat her with contempt.
