1 Kings 9:1 In-Context

1 When Solomon had finished building the house of the Lord and the king's house and all that Solomon desired to build,

2 the Lord appeared to Solomon a second time, as he had appeared to him at Gibeon.

3 The Lord said to him, "I have heard your prayer and your plea, which you made before me; I have consecrated this house that you have built, and put my name there forever; my eyes and my heart will be there for all time.

4 As for you, if you will walk before me, as David your father walked, with integrity of heart and uprightness, doing according to all that I have commanded you, and keeping my statutes and my ordinances,

5 then I will establish your royal throne over Israel forever, as I promised your father David, saying, "There shall not fail you a successor on the throne of Israel.'
