David

And he cried out against the altar in the word of the Lord, and said: O altar, altar, thus saith the Lord: Behold a child shall be born to the house of David, Josias by name, and he shall immolate upon thee the priests of the high places, who now burn incense upon thee, and he shall burn men's bones upon thee.

And rent the kingdom away from the house of David, and gave it to thee, and thou hast not been as my servant, David, who kept my commandments, and followed me with all his heart, doing that which was well pleasing in my sight:

And Roboam slept with his fathers, and was buried with them, in the city of David: and his mother's name was Naama, an Ammonitess: and Abiam, his son, reigned in his stead.

And he walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before him: and his heart was not perfect with the Lord his God, as was the heart of David, his father.

But for David's sake the Lord his God gave him a lamp in Jerusalem, to set up his son after him, and to establish Jerusalem:

Because David had done that which was right in the eyes of the Lord, and had not turned aside from any thing that he commanded him, all the days of his life, except the matter of Urias, the Hethite.

And Abiam slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David: and Asa, his son, reigned in his stead.

And Asa did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, as did David, his father:

And he slept with his fathers, and was buried with them in the city of David, his father. And Josaphat, his son, reigned in his place.

Then Ochozias, the son of Achab, said to Josaphat: Let my servants go with thy servants in the ships. And Josaphat would not.

But the Lord would not destroy Juda, for David his servant's sake, as he had promised him, to give him a light, and to his children always.

And Joram slept with his fathers, and was buried with them in the city of David, and Ochozias, his son, reigned in his stead.

And his servants laid him upon his chariot, and carried him to Jerusalem: and they buried him in his sepulchre with his fathers, in the city of David.

And he gave them the spears, and the arms of king David, which were in the house of the Lord.

For Josachar the son of Semaath, and Jozabad the son of Somer his servant, struck him, and he died: and they buried him with his fathers in the city of David; and Amasias, his son, reigned in his stead.

And he did that which was right before the Lord, but yet not like David his father. He did according to all things that Joas his father, did:

And they brought him away upon horses, and he was buried in Jerusalem with his fathers, in the city of David.

And Azarias slept with his fathers: and they buried him with his ancestors in the city of David, and Joatham, his son, reigned in his stead.

And Joatham slept with his fathers, and was buried with them in the city of David, his father; and Achaz, his son, reigned in his stead.

Achaz was twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: he did not that which was pleasing in the sight of the Lord, his God, as David, his father.

And Achaz slept with his fathers, and was buried with them in the city of David, and Ezechias, his son, reigned in his stead.

Even from that time, when Israel was rent from the house of David, and made Jeroboam, son of Nabat, their king: for Jeroboam separated Israel from the Lord, and made them commit a great sin.

And he did that which was good before the Lord, according to all that David, his father, had done

And I will protect this city, and will save it for my own sake, and for David, my servant's sake.

Go back, and tell Ezechias, the captain of my people: Thus saith the Lord, the God of David, thy father: I have heard thy prayer, and I have seen thy tears: and behold I have healed thee: on the third day thou shalt go up to the temple of the Lord.
