1. After Solomon finished building the house of the Lord, the house of the king, and everything else that he wanted to do,
2. the Lord appeared to Solomon a second time, as he had appeared to him in Gibeon.
3. The Lord said to him: I have heard the prayer of petition which you offered in my presence. I have consecrated this house which you have built and I set my name there forever; my eyes and my heart shall be there always.
