Context — David Commissions Solomon
5And of all my sons—for the LORD has given me many sons—He has chosen Solomon my son to sit on the throne of the kingdom of the LORD over Israel.
6And He said to me, ‘Solomon your son is the one who will build My house and My courts, for I have chosen him as My son, and I will be his Father.
7I will establish his kingdom forever, if he resolutely carries out My commandments and ordinances, as is being done this day.’
8So now in the sight of all Israel, the assembly of the LORD, and in the hearing of our God, keep and seek out all the commandments of the LORD your God, so that you may possess this good land and leave it as an inheritance to your descendants forever. 9As for you, Solomon my son, know the God of your father and serve Him wholeheartedly and with a willing mind, for the LORD searches every heart and understands the intent of every thought. If you seek Him, He will be found by you; but if you forsake Him, He will reject you forever.Cross References

1 Chronicles 28:7 Summary
[This verse is a promise from God to Solomon, saying that if he obeys God's commands and laws, then his kingdom will be established forever, as seen in 1 Chronicles 28:7. This promise is not just for Solomon, but also reminds us today that our obedience to God is connected to our eternal inheritance in Jesus Christ, as encouraged in Hebrews 12:28. By following God's commands and laws, we can trust that He will establish our lives on a firm foundation, just like He promised to do for Solomon, and this is a key part of our walk with God, as seen in Deuteronomy 28:1-14 and Matthew 7:24-27.]
Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean for Solomon's kingdom to be established forever?
This promise is conditional, as seen in 1 Chronicles 28:7, and is ultimately fulfilled in Jesus Christ, who is the eternal King of God's people, as prophesied in Isaiah 9:7 and Luke 1:32-33.
What commandments and ordinances is God referring to in this verse?
God is referring to the laws and commands He gave to the Israelites, such as those found in the book of Deuteronomy, which Solomon is to resolutely carry out, as also encouraged in Deuteronomy 17:18-20 and Joshua 1:7-8.
How does this verse relate to the new covenant in Jesus Christ?
While this verse specifically addresses Solomon's kingdom, the principle of obedience and faithfulness is still relevant for believers today, as seen in Hebrews 12:28 and 2 Timothy 2:12, where our faithful obedience is connected to our eternal inheritance in Jesus Christ.
Can this promise be applied to my own life and walk with God?
Yes, as a child of God, you can apply the principle of 1 Chronicles 28:7 to your own life, seeking to resolutely carry out God's commandments and ordinances, as encouraged in Ephesians 6:1-3 and Colossians 3:20, and trusting in God's faithfulness to establish your life on a firm foundation.
Reflection Questions
- What are some areas in my life where I need to resolutely carry out God's commandments and ordinances, and how can I take steps to obey Him more fully?
- How does the promise of an established kingdom relate to my own sense of purpose and calling, and what can I learn from Solomon's example?
- In what ways can I seek to please God and follow His will, even when it's challenging or difficult, and what encouragement can I draw from 1 Chronicles 28:7?
- How can I trust in God's faithfulness to establish my life on a firm foundation, even when circumstances seem uncertain or unstable, and what role does faith play in this process?

1 Chronicles 28:7 Moreover I will establish his kingdom for ever, if he be constant to do my commandments and my judgments, as at this day.Ver. 7. If he be constant.] Heb., Strong; for he shall be hard put to it. God’ s promises are conditional. See on 2 Samuel 7:14. As at this day.] Solomon had been well instructed in the ways of God, both by father and mother, and while young he did God’ s commandments and judgments, as is hinted in these words, "As at this day"; but he was not so constant.
Ellicott's Commentary on 1 Chronicles 28:7
(7) Moreover I will establish his kingdom for ever.—So 1 Chronicles 22:10 (at end). If he be constant to do my commandments and my judgments.—The same condition is attached to the same promise in 1 Kings 9:4-5. (Comp. also 1 Kings 3:14, where the promise is length of days.) As at this day.—As we are doing in our present work. The same words occur in the same sense at the end of Solomon’s Prayer (1 Kings 8:61).
