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

ગુજરાતી2 કાળવૃતાંત ૬:૧૬
હવે પછી, પ્રભુ ઇઝરાયલના ઈશ્વર, તમે તમારા સેવક મારા પિતા દાઉદને જે વચન આપ્યું હતું તે પૂરું કરો, તમે તેને કહ્યું હતું, ‘જો તારા વંશજો મારા વચનો સાંભળીને ચાલશે અને તારી જેમ મારા નિયમોનું સદા પાલન કરશે તો મારી નજર આગળ ઇઝરાયલના રાજ્યાસન પર બેસનાર પુરુષની ખોટ તને પડશે નહિ.’
हिन्दी2 इतिहास ६:१६
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 सदा बने रहेंगे, यह हो कि जैसे तू अपने को मेरे सम्मुख जानकर चलता रहा, वैसे ही तेरे वंश के लोग अपनी चाल चलन में ऐसी चौकसी करें, कि मेरी व्यवस्था पर चलें।’

In context

14Then he said, “LORD, the God of Israel, there is no God like you in heaven or on earth—you who keep covenant and loving kindness with your servants who walk before you with all their heart;

15who have 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.

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

17Now therefore, LORD, the God of Israel, let your word be verified, which you spoke to your servant David.

18“But will God indeed dwell with men on the earth? Behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens can’t contain you; how much less this house which I have built!
