Praise be to the Lord, who has given rest to his people Israel just as he promised

Praise be to the Lord, who has given rest to his people Israel just as he promised

1 Kings 8:56

56 “Praise be to the Lord, who has given rest to his people Israel just as he promised. Not one word has failed of all the good promises he gave through his servant Moses.

2 Chr 1:9

Solomon answered God, “You have shown great kindness to David my father and have made me king in his place. 

Now, Lord God, let your promise to my father David be confirmed, for you have made me king over a people who are as numerous as the dust of the earth. 

10 Give me wisdom and knowledge, that I may lead this people, for who is able to govern this great people of yours?”

2 Chr 6:15, 42

 15 You have kept your promise to your servant David my father; with your mouth you have promised and with your hand you have fulfilled it—as it is today.

16 “Now, Lord, the God of Israel, keep for your servant David my father the promises you made to him when you said, ‘You shall never fail to have a successor to sit before me on the throne of Israel, if only your descendants are careful in all they do to walk before me according to my law, as you have done.’ 

17 And now, Lord, the God of Israel, let your word that you promised your servant David come true.

42 Lord God, do not reject your anointed one.
    Remember the great love promised to David your servant.”
