1 Kings 9:2-9

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. 8And though this houseH1004 is so high, yet shall every oneH2088 that passeth by it beH1961 astonished, and shall hissH8319; and they shall sayH559, WhyH4100 hath Jehovah done thusH3602 unto this landH776, and to this houseH1004? 9and they shall answer, Because they forsook Jehovah their GodH430, who broughtH935 forthH3318 their fathersH1 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and laid holdH2388 on otherH312 godsH430, and worshipped them, and servedH5647 them: thereforeH3651 hath Jehovah broughtH935 all this evilH7451 upon them.
