1 Kings 9:1 In-Context

1 After Shlomo had finished building the house of ADONAI, the royal palace and everything else he wanted to build for himself,

2 ADONAI appeared to Shlomo a second time, as he had appeared to him in Giv'on.

3 ADONAI said to him, "I have heard your prayer and your plea that you made before me: I am consecrating this house which you built and placing my name there forever; my eyes and heart will always be there.

4 As for you, if you will live in my presence, as did David your father, in pureness of heart and uprightness, doing everything I have ordered you to do, and observing my laws and rulings;

5 then I will establish the throne of your rulership over Isra'el forever, just as I promised David your father when I said, 'You will never lack a man on the throne of Isra'el.'
