1 Reyes 9:3 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 9:3

And the Lord said unto him, I have heard thy prayer and thy
supplication that thou hast made before me
With delight and pleasure, and had accepted it; meaning the prayer recorded in the preceding chapter:

I have hallowed this house which thou hast built;
by the cloud of glory filling it, and by fire descending from heaven, and consuming the sacrifices offered in it, ( 2 Chronicles 7:1 )

to put my name there for ever;
there to grant his presence, so long as his pure worship should be continued in it; so the Targum adds,

``and my Shechinah or divine Majesty shall abide in it, if my will is done there continually:''

and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually;
his eyes of Providence should be upon it, to watch over it, and protect it, and his worshippers in it; and he should have a cordial regard to the sacrifices there offered, and to the persons of the offerers, so long as they offered them in a right way, and to right ends and purposes.

1 Reyes 9:3 In-Context

1 Y sucedi贸 que cuando Salom贸n hab铆a acabado de edificar la casa del SE脩OR, la casa del rey y todo lo que Salom贸n deseaba hacer,
2 el SE脩OR se apareci贸 a Salom贸n por segunda vez, tal como se le hab铆a aparecido en Gaba贸n.
3 Y el SE脩OR le dijo: He o铆do tu oraci贸n y tu s煤plica que has hecho delante de m铆; he consagrado esta casa que has edificado, poniendo all铆 mi nombre para siempre; en ella estar谩n mis ojos y mi coraz贸n perpetuamente.
4 Y en cuanto a ti, si andas delante de m铆 como anduvo tu padre David, en integridad de coraz贸n y en rectitud, haciendo conforme a todo lo que te he mandado, y guardas mis estatutos y mis ordenanzas,
5 yo afirmar茅 el trono de tu reino sobre Israel para siempre, tal como promet铆 a tu padre David, diciendo: "No te faltar谩 hombre sobre el trono de Israel."
