So Solomon finished the Temple of the LORD, as well as the royal palace. He completed everything he had planned to do in the construction of the Temple and the palace.
12
Then one night the LORD appeared to Solomon and said, “I have heard your prayer and have chosen this Temple as the place for making sacrifices.
13
At times I might shut up the heavens so that no rain falls, or command grasshoppers to devour your crops, or send plagues among you.
14
Then if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land.
15
My eyes will be open and my ears attentive to every prayer made in this place.
