2 Chronicles 7:14

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.’
