God Searches the Hearts and Minds of All Men

When King David addressed the special assembly gathered to observe the coronation of his son, the man after God's own heart addressed the future king:1 Chronicles 28:9 (NASB) "As for you, my son Solomon, know the God of your father, and serve Him with a whole heart and a willing mind; for the LORD [YHWH, Yahweh] searches all hearts, and understands every intent of the thoughts.
