10 aOn the twenty-third day of the seventh month he sent the people away to their tents, joyful and glad of heart for the good that the Lord had done for David, for Solomon, and for His people Israel.
11 Thus aSolomon finished the house of the Lord and the king’s house; and Solomon successfully accomplished all that came into his heart to make in the house of the Lord and in his own house.
God’s Second Appearance to Solomon
12 Then the Lord aappeared to Solomon by night, and said to him: “I have heard your prayer, band have chosen this cplace for Myself as a house of sacrifice.
13 aWhen I shut up heaven and there is no rain, or command the locusts to devour the land, or send pestilence among My people,
14 if My people who are acalled by My name will bhumble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, cthen I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin and heal their land.
15 Now aMy eyes will be open and My ears attentive to prayer made in this place.
16 For now aI have chosen and sanctified this house, that My name may be there forever; and2 My eyes and My heart will be there perpetually.
17 aAs for you, if you walk before Me as your father David walked, and do according to all that I have commanded you, and if you keep My statutes and My judgments,
18 then I will establish the throne of your kingdom, as I covenanted with David your father, saying, a‘You shall not fail to have a man as ruler in Israel.’
