1. When Solomon finished building the temple of the Lord, the royal palace, and all that Solomon desired to do,
2. the Lord appeared to Solomon a second time just as He had appeared to him at Gibeon.
3. The Lord said to him:I have heard your prayer and petition you have made before Me. I have consecrated this temple you have built, to put My name there forever; My eyes and My heart will be there at all times.
4. As for you, if you walk before Me as your father David walked, with a heart of integrity and in what is right, doing everything I have commanded you, and if you keep My statutes and ordinances,
5. I will establish your royal throne over Israel forever, as I promised your father David: You will never fail to have a man on the throne of Israel.
