11
Solomon finished the Temple of the Lord and his royal palace. He had success in doing everything he planned in the Temple of the Lord and his own palace.
12
Then the Lord appeared to Solomon at night and said to him, "I have heard your prayer and have chosen this place for myself to be a Temple for sacrifices.
13
"I may stop the sky from sending rain. I may command the locusts to destroy the land. I may send sicknesses to my people.
14
Then if my people, who are called by my name, are sorry for what they have done, if they pray and obey me and stop their evil ways, I will hear them from heaven. I will forgive their sin, and I will heal their land.
15
Now I will see them, and I will listen to the prayers prayed in this place.
