16 Now therefore, O LORD H3068 God H430 of Israel, H3478 keep H8104 with thy servant H5650 David H1732 my father H1 that which thou hast promised H1696 him, saying, H559 There shall not fail H3772 thee a man H376 in my sight H6440 to sit H3427 upon the throne H3678 of Israel; H3478 yet so H7535 that thy children H1121 take heed H8104 to their way H1870 to walk H3212 in my law, H8451 as thou hast walked H1980 before H6440 me.
17 Now then, O LORD H3068 God H430 of Israel, H3478 let thy word H1697 be verified, H539 which thou hast spoken H1696 unto thy servant H5650 David. H1732

Commentary on 2 Chronicles 6 John Gill's Exposition of the Bible
INTRODUCTION TO 2 CHRONICLES 5 & 6
The words with which chapter five begins are the same with 1 Kings 7:51 and what is contained in that and chapter six is much the same with 1 Kings 8:1 on which see the notes; the blessing of Solomon on the people of Israel, which is there, is here omitted, and two verses are here added, much the same with Psalm 132:8.
