1 Kings 9:1 In-Context

1 Now once Solomon finished building the LORD's temple, the royal palace, and everything else he wanted to accomplish,

2 the LORD appeared to him a second time in the same way he had appeared to him at Gibeon.

3 The LORD said to him, "I have heard your prayer and your cry to me. I have set apart this temple that you built, to put my name there forever. My eyes and my heart will always be there.

4 As for you, if you walk before me just as your father David did, with complete dedication and honesty, and if you do all that I have commanded, and keep my regulations and case laws,

5 then I will establish your royal throne over Israel forever, just as I promised your father David, ‘You will never fail to have a successor on the throne of Israel.'
