1 Kings 6:11

And the word of the Lord came to Solomon
The word of prophecy, as the Targum, foretelling what would be the case of this building, according to the obedience or disobedience of him and the people of Israel; which was brought to him either by an impulse of the Spirit of God upon him; or by the hand of a prophet, as Kimchi thinks; and some of the Jewish writers ^F25, as he particularly, name Ahijah the Shilonite as the prophet that was sent with this message to him:

saying,
as follows.

9 et aedificavit domum et consummavit eam texit quoque domum laquearibus cedrinis

10 et aedificavit tabulatum super omnem domum quinque cubitis altitudinis et operuit domum lignis cedrinis

11 et factus est sermo Domini ad Salomonem dicens

12 domus haec quam aedificas si ambulaveris in praeceptis meis et iudicia mea feceris et custodieris omnia mandata mea gradiens per ea firmabo sermonem meum tibi quem locutus sum ad David patrem tuum

13 et habitabo in medio filiorum Israhel et non derelinquam populum meum Israhel
