1 Reyes 9:3 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 9:3

And the Lord said unto him, I have heard thy prayer and thy
supplication that thou hast made before me
With delight and pleasure, and had accepted it; meaning the prayer recorded in the preceding chapter:

I have hallowed this house which thou hast built;
by the cloud of glory filling it, and by fire descending from heaven, and consuming the sacrifices offered in it, ( 2 Chronicles 7:1 )

to put my name there for ever;
there to grant his presence, so long as his pure worship should be continued in it; so the Targum adds,

``and my Shechinah or divine Majesty shall abide in it, if my will is done there continually:''

and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually;
his eyes of Providence should be upon it, to watch over it, and protect it, and his worshippers in it; and he should have a cordial regard to the sacrifices there offered, and to the persons of the offerers, so long as they offered them in a right way, and to right ends and purposes.

1 Reyes 9:3 In-Context

1 Cuando Salomón terminó de construir el templo del SEÑOR y el palacio real, cumpliendo así todos sus propósitos y deseos,
2 el SEÑOR se le apareció por segunda vez, como lo había hecho en Gabaón,
3 y le dijo:«He oído la oración y la súplica que me has hecho. Consagro este templo que tú has construido para que yo habite en él por siempre. Mis ojos y mi corazón siempre estarán allí.
4 »En cuanto a ti, si me sigues con integridad y rectitud de corazón, como lo hizo tu padre David, y me obedeces en todo lo que yo te ordene y cumples mis decretos y leyes,
5 yo afirmaré para siempre tu trono en el reino de Israel, como le prometí a tu padre David cuando le dije: “Nunca te faltará un descendiente en el trono de Israel”.
