1 Kings 9:1-9

11Now it came about when Solomon had finished building the house of the Lord, and 2the king’s house, and 3all 4that Solomon desired to do, 2that 5the Lord appeared to Solomon a second time, as He had appeared to him at Gibeon. 3The Lord said to him, “6I have heard your prayer and your supplication, which you have made before Me; I have consecrated this house which you have built 7by putting My name there forever, and 8My eyes and My heart will be there perpetually. 4As for you, 9if you will walk before Me as your father David walked, in integrity of heart and uprightness, doing according to all that I have commanded you and will keep My statutes and My ordinances, 5then 10I will establish the throne of your kingdom over Israel forever, just as I 11promised to your father David, saying, ‘12You shall not lack a man on the throne of Israel.’

6“13But if you or your sons indeed turn away from following Me, and do not keep My commandments and My statutes which I have set before you, and go and serve other gods and worship them, 714then I will cut off Israel from the land which I have given them, and 15the house which I have consecrated for My name, I will 16cast out of My sight. So 17Israel will become a proverb and a byword among all peoples. 8And this house will become 1819a heap of ruins; everyone who passes by will be astonished and hiss and say, ‘20Why has the Lord done thus to this land and to this house?’ 9And they will say, ‘21Because they forsook the Lord their God, who brought their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and adopted other gods and worshiped them and served them, therefore the Lord has brought all this adversity on them.’”
