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 Y cuando Salom贸n hubo acabado la obra de la Casa del SE脩OR, y la casa real, y todo lo que Salom贸n quiso hacer,
2 el SE脩OR se apareci贸 a Salom贸n la segunda vez, como le hab铆a aparecido en Gaba贸n.
3 Y le dijo el SE脩OR: Yo he o铆do tu oraci贸n y tu ruego, que has hecho en mi presencia. Yo he santificado esta Casa que t煤 has edificado, para poner mi nombre en ella para siempre; y en ella estar谩n mis ojos y mi coraz贸n todos los d铆as.
4 Y si t煤 anduvieres delante de m铆, como anduvo David tu padre, en integridad de coraz贸n y en equidad, haciendo todas las cosas que yo te he mandado, y guardando mis estatutos y mis derechos,
5 yo afirmar茅 el trono de tu reino sobre Israel para siempre, como habl茅 a David tu padre, diciendo: No faltar谩 de ti var贸n en el trono de Israel.
