1 Kings 9:1-7
1And it came to pass, when SolomonH8010 had finishedH3615 the buildingH1129 of the houseH1004 of Jehovah, and the king’sH4428 houseH1004, and all Solomon’s desireH2654 which he wasH1961 pleasedH2654 to do,
2that Jehovah appearedH7200 to SolomonH8010 the secondH8145 timeH8145, as he had appearedH7200 unto him at GibeonH1391.
3And Jehovah saidH559 unto him, I have heardH8085 thy prayerH8605 and thy supplicationH8467, that thou hast madeH7760 before me: I have hallowed this houseH1004, which thou hast builtH1129, to putH7760 my nameH8034 there for everH5769; and mine eyesH5869 and my heartH3820 shall beH1961 there perpetually.
4And as for thee, if thou wilt walkH1980 before me, as DavidH1732 thy fatherH1 walkedH1980, in integrityH8537 of heartH3824, and in uprightnessH3476, to do according to all that I have commandedH6680 thee, and wilt keepH8104 my statutesH2706 and mine ordinancesH4941;
5then I will establishH6965 the throneH3678 of thy kingdomH4467 over IsraelH3478 for everH5769, according as I promised to DavidH1732 thy fatherH1, sayingH559, There shall not fail thee a manH376 upon the throneH3678 of IsraelH3478.
6But if ye shall turnH7725 awayH7725 from following me, ye or your children, and not keepH8104 my commandmentsH4687 and my statutesH2708 which I have setH5414 before you, but shall goH1980 and serveH5647 otherH312 godsH430, and worship them;
7then will I cutH3772 off IsraelH3478 out of the landH127 which I have givenH5414 them; and this houseH1004, which I have hallowed for my nameH8034, will I cast out of my sight; and IsraelH3478 shall beH1961 a proverbH4912 and a bywordH4912 among all peoplesH5971.
