Context of 2 Chronicles 7:17
15Now I will watch over this place. I will answer the prayers that people offer to me here. 16I have chosen this temple to be my special home. People will worship me there for ever. I will always be there to watch over it. But you must all continue to serve me well, as your father David did. Do everything that I have commanded you to do. Obey my rules and my laws. 18If you do that, I will always cause one of your descendants to rule as king. That is what I promised to your father David when I said, “There will always be someone from your family to rule over Israel.” 19But if any of you turn away from me, I will punish your people. I will do that if you do not obey the laws and rules that I have given to you. I will do it if you choose to serve and to worship other gods.
