1 Kings 9:2-9

2that the LORDH3068 appearedH7200 to SolomonH8010 the secondH8145 time, as he had appearedH7200 unto him at GibeonH1391.

3And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto him, I have heardH8085 thy prayerH8605 and thy supplicationH8467, that thou hast madeH7760 beforeH6440 meH413: I have hallowed this houseH1004, whichH834 thou hast builtH1129, to putH7760 my nameH8034 there for everH5769; and mine eyesH5869 and mine heartH3820 shall be there perpetuallyH5769.

4And as for thee, ifH518 thou wilt walkH1980 beforeH6440 meH6440, as DavidH1732 thy fatherH1 walkedH1980, in integrityH8537 of heartH3824, and in uprightnessH3476, to doH6213 accordingH4941 to allH3605 that I have commandedH6680 thee, and wilt keepH8104 my statutesH2706 and my judgmentsH4941;

5then I will establishH6965 the throneH3678 of thy kingdomH4467 over IsraelH3478 for everH5769; accordingH5921 as I promisedH1696 to DavidH1732 thy fatherH1, sayingH559, There shall notH3808 failH3772 thee a manH376 uponH5921 the throneH3678 of IsraelH3478.

6But ifH518 ye shall turnH7725 awayH7725 from followingH310 meH5414, ye or your childrenH1121 and notH3808 keepH8104 my commandmentsH4687 and my statutesH2708 whichH834 I have setH5414 beforeH6440 youH859, but shall goH1980 and serveH5647 otherH312 godsH430, and worshipH7812 them:

7then will I cutH3772 offH3772 IsraelH3478 outH7971 of the landH127 whichH834 I have givenH5414 them; and this houseH1004, whichH834 I have hallowed for my nameH8034, will I castH5414 outH7971 of my sightH6440; and IsraelH3478 shall be a proverbH4912 and a bywordH4912 among allH3605 peoplesH5971:

8And though this houseH1004 be soH6213 high, yet shall everyH3605 one that passeth by be astonishedH8074, and shall hissH8319; and they shall sayH559, WhyH4100 hath the LORDH3068 doneH6213 thusH3602 unto this landH776, and to this houseH1004?

9and they shall answerH559, BecauseH5921 they forsook the LORDH3068 their GodH430, whichH834 broughtH935 forthH3318 their fathersH1 outH3318 of the landH776 of EgyptH4714, and laidH2388 holdH2388 on otherH312 godsH430, and worshipped them, and servedH5647 them: therefore hath the LORDH3068 broughtH935 allH3605 this evilH7451 uponH5921 them.
