4 “Yet the Lord God of Israel chose me out of all my father’s familyp to be king over Israel forever.q For he chose Judah as leader,r and from the house of Judah, my father’s family, and from my father’s sons,s he was pleased to make me king over all Israel. 5 And out of all my sonst—for the Lord has given me many sons—he has chosen my son Solomon to sit on the throne of the Lord’s kingdom over Israel.u
