1 Kings 9:1 In-Context

1 Solomon finished building the Temple of the Lord and his royal palace and everything he wanted to build.

2 Then the Lord appeared to him again just as he had done before, in Gibeon.

3 The Lord said to him: "I have heard your prayer and what you have asked me to do. You built this Temple, and I have made it a holy place. I will be worshiped there forever and will watch over it and protect it always.

4 "But you must serve me as your father David did; he was fair and sincere. You must obey all I have commanded and keep my laws and rules.

5 If you do, I will make your kingdom strong. This is the promise I made to your father David -- that someone from his family would always rule Israel.
