And it came to pass, when Solomon had finished the building
of the house of the Lord

Melachim Alef 9:1 In-Context

1 And it came to pass, when Sh’lomo had completed the building of the Beis Hashem, and the Bais HaMelech, and all Sh’lomo’s desire which he was pleased to do,
2 That Hashem appeared to Sh’lomo the second time, as He had appeared unto him at Giveon.
3 And Hashem said unto him, I have heard thy tefillah and thy techinnah, that thou hast made before Me; I have set apart as kodesh this Beis [HaMikdash], which thou hast built, to put Shemi there ad olam; and Mine eyes and Mine lev shall be there kol hayamim.
4 And if thou wilt walk before Me, just as Dovid Avicha walked, in tohm (integrity, guilelessness) of lev, and in yashar, to do according to all that I have commanded thee, and will be shomer over My chukkot and My mishpatim;
5 Then I will establish the kisse (throne) of thy kingdom over Yisroel l’olam, as I promised to Dovid Avicha, saying, There shall not yikaret (be cut off, fail) thee an ish upon the Kisse Yisroel.
