1 Kings 6:13 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 6:13

And I will dwell among the children of Israel
In this house now building, and which was in the middle of the land, and where he would meet with them, and accept their sacrifices, not only of slain beasts, but of prayer and praise:

and will not forsake my people Israel;
and leave them to the mercy of their enemies, and to be carried captive by them, but protect and defend them.

1 Kings 6:13 In-Context

11 A message came to Solomon from the LORD. The LORD said,

12 "You are now building this temple. Follow my orders. Keep my rules. Obey all of my commands. Then I will make the promise I gave your father David come true. I will do it through you.

13 I will live among my people Israel. I will not desert them."

14 So Solomon built the temple and finished it.

15 He put cedar boards on its inside walls. He covered them from floor to ceiling. He covered the temple floor with pine boards.
