Old Testament

New Testament

1 Kings 9:4-7 New Century Version (NCV)

4. “But you must serve me as your father David did; he was fair and sincere. You must obey all I have commanded and keep my laws and rules.

5. If you do, I will make your kingdom strong. This is the promise I made to your father David—that someone from his family would always rule Israel.

6. “But you and your children must follow me and obey the laws and commands I have given you. You must not serve or worship other gods.

7. If you do, I will force Israel to leave the land I have given them, and I will leave this Temple that I have made holy. All the nations will make fun of Israel and speak evil about them.
