1 Kings 9:4 - Forerunner Commentary

1 Kings 9:4

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.
