1 Kings 9:1 In-Context

1 Solomon finished building the LORD's temple, the royal palace, and everything [else] he wanted to build.
2 Then the LORD appeared to him a second time, as he had appeared to him in Gibeon.
3 The LORD said to him, "I have heard your prayer for mercy that you made to me. I have declared that this temple which you have built is holy so that my name may be placed there forever. My eyes and my heart will always be there.
4 "If you will be faithful to me as your father David was (with a sincere and upright heart), do everything I command, and keep my laws and rules,
5 then I will establish your royal dynasty over Israel forever as I promised your father David when I said, 'You will never fail to have an heir on the throne of Israel.'
