Now therefore, may LORD, the God of Israel, keep with your servant David my father that which you have promised him, saying, ‘There shall not fail from you a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel, if only your children take heed to their way, to walk before me as you have walked before me.’

ગુજરાતી1 રાજાઓ ૮:૨૫
હવે પછી, હે ઇઝરાયલના પ્રભુ ઈશ્વર, તમારા સેવક મારા પિતા દાઉદને જે વચન તમે આપ્યું છે તે તેમના પ્રત્યે પાળો; એટલે કે, ‘મારી આગળ તમને ઇઝરાયલના રાજ્યાસન પર બેસનાર માણસની ખોટ પડશે નહિ, જો જેમ તું મારી આગળ ચાલ્યો, તેમ મારી સમક્ષ ચાલવા તારા વંશજોએ સાવચેત રહેવું.’
हिन्दी1 राजाओं ८:२५
इसलिए अब हे इस्राएल के परमेश्वर यहोवा! इस वचन को भी पूरा कर, जो तूने अपने दास मेरे पिता दाऊद को दिया था, ‘तेरे कुल में, मेरे सामने इस्राएल की गद्दी पर विराजनेवाले सदैव बने रहेंगे इतना हो कि जैसे तू स्वयं मुझे सम्मुख जानकर चलता रहा, वैसे ही तेरे वंश के लोग अपनी चाल चलन में ऐसी ही चौकसी करें।’

In context

23and he said, “LORD, the God of Israel, there is no God like you, in heaven above, or on earth beneath; who keeps covenant and loving kindness with your servants who walk before you with all their heart;

24who has kept with your servant David my father that which you promised him. Yes, you spoke with your mouth, and have fulfilled it with your hand, as it is today.

25Now therefore, may LORD, the God of Israel, keep with your servant David my father that which you have promised him, saying, ‘There shall not fail from you a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel, if only your children take heed to their way, to walk before me as you have walked before me.’

26“Now therefore, God of Israel, please let your word be verified, which you spoke to your servant David my father.

27But will God in very deed dwell on the earth? Behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens can’t contain you; how much less this house that I have built!
