ગુજરાતી1 રાજાઓ ૧૧:૩૬
સુલેમાનના પુત્રને હું એક જ કુળ આપીશ, જેથી યરુશાલેમ નગર કે જેને મારું નામ રાખવા પસંદ કર્યું છે તેમાં મારા સેવક દાઉદનો દીવો મારી આગળ સદા સળગતો રહે.
हिन्दी1 राजाओं ११:३६
और उसके पुत्र को मैं एक गोत्र दूँगा, इसलिए कि यरूशलेम अर्थात् उस नगर में जिसे अपना नाम रखने को मैंने चुना है, मेरे दास दाऊद का दीपक मेरे सामने सदैव बना रहे।

In context

34“‘However, I will not take the whole kingdom out of his hand, but I will make him prince all the days of his life for David my servant’s sake whom I chose, who kept my commandments and my statutes,

35but I will take the kingdom out of his son’s hand and will give it to you, even ten tribes.

36I will give one tribe to his son, that David my servant may have a lamp always before me in Jerusalem, the city which I have chosen for myself to put my name there.

37I will take you, and you shall reign according to all that your soul desires, and shall be king over Israel.

38It shall be, if you will listen to all that I command you, and will walk in my ways, and do that which is right in my eyes, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as David my servant did, that I will be with you, and will build you a sure house, as I built for David, and will give Israel to you.
