Thus Solomonfinished the house of the LORD, and the king'shouse: and all that came into Solomon'sheart to make in the house of the LORD, and in his own house, he prosperously effected.
12
And the LORDappeared to Solomon by night, and said unto him, I have heard thy prayer, and have chosen this place to myself for an house of sacrifice.
14
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wickedways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
17
And as for thee, if thou wilt walkbefore me, as David thy fatherwalked, and do according to all that I have commanded thee, and shalt observe my statutes and my judgments;
18
Then will I stablish the throne of thy kingdom, according as I have covenanted with David thy father,saying, There shall not fail thee a man to be ruler in Israel.
20
Then will I pluck them up by the roots out of my land which I have given them; and this house, which I have sanctified for my name, will I cast out of my sight, and will make it to be a proverb and a byword among all nations.
21
And this house, which is high, shall be an astonishment to every one that passeth by it; so that he shall say, Why hath the LORDdone thus unto this land, and unto this house?
