2 that the Lord appeared to Solomon the second time, aas He had appeared to him at Gibeon.
3 And the Lord said to him: a“I have heard your prayer and your supplication that you have made before Me; I have consecrated this house which you have built bto put My name there forever, and cMy eyes and My heart will be there perpetually.
4 Now if you awalk before Me bas your father David walked, in integrity of heart and in uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded you, and if you ckeep My statutes and My judgments,
5 then I will establish the throne of your kingdom over Israel forever, aas I promised David your father, saying, ‘You shall not fail to have a man on the throne of Israel.’
6 aBut if you or your sons at all1 turn from following Me, and do not keep My commandments and My statutes which I have set before you, but go and serve other gods and worship them,
7 athen I will cut off Israel from the land which I have given them; and this house which I have consecrated bfor My name I will cast out of My sight. cIsrael will be a proverb and a byword among all peoples.
