Read in context

1 Kings 9:1–5 · Berean Standard Bible

1 Now when Solomon had finished building the house of the LORD and the royal palace, and had achieved all that he had desired to do,

2 the LORD appeared to him a second time, as He had appeared to him at Gibeon.

3 And the LORD said to him: “I have heard your prayer and petition before Me. I have consecrated this temple you have built by putting My Name there forever; My eyes and My heart will be there for all time.

4 And as for you, if you walk before Me as your father David walked, with a heart of integrity and uprightness, doing all I have commanded you, and if you keep My statutes and ordinances,

5 then I will establish your royal throne over Israel forever, as I promised your father David when I said, ‘You will never fail to have a man on the throne of Israel.’
