1 Kings 9:4-9

4And if thou wilt walkH3212 beforeH6440 me, as DavidH1732 thy fatherH1 walkedH1980, in integrityH8537 of heartH3824, and in uprightnessH3476, to doH6213 according to all that I have commandedH6680 thee, and wilt keepH8104 my statutesH2706 and my judgmentsH4941:

5Then I will establishH6965 the throneH3678 of thy kingdomH4467 upon IsraelH3478 for everH5769, as I promisedH1696 to DavidH1732 thy fatherH1, sayingH559, There shall not failH3772 thee a manH376 upon the throneH3678 of IsraelH3478.

6But if ye shall at allH7725 turnH7725 from followingH310 me, ye or your childrenH1121, and will not keepH8104 my commandmentsH4687 and my statutesH2708 which I have setH5414 beforeH6440 you, but goH1980 and serveH5647 otherH312 godsH430, and worshipH7812 them:

7Then will I cut offH3772 IsraelH3478 outH6440 of the landH127 which I have givenH5414 them; and this houseH1004, which I have hallowedH6942 for my nameH8034, will I cast outH7971 of my sightH6440; and IsraelH3478 shall be a proverbH4912 and a bywordH8148 among all peopleH5971:

8And at this houseH1004, which is highH5945, every one that passethH5674 by it shall be astonishedH8074, and shall hissH8319; and they shall sayH559, Why hath YhwhH3068 doneH6213 thus unto this landH776, and to this houseH1004?

9And they shall answerH559, Because they forsookH5800 YhwhH3068 their GodH430, who brought forthH3318 their fathersH1 out of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and have taken holdH2388 upon otherH312 godsH430, and have worshippedH7812 them, and servedH5647 them: therefore hath YhwhH3068 broughtH935 upon them all this evilH7451.
