1 Kings 9:1-9

God's Second Appearance to Solomon

1 Kings 9:1-9

God's Second Appearance to Solomon

1
And it cometh to pass, at Solomon's finishing to build the house of Jehovah, and the house of the king, and all the desire of Solomon that he delighted to do,
2
that Jehovah appeareth unto Solomon a second time, as He appeared unto him in Gibeon,
3
and Jehovah saith unto him, `I have heard thy prayer and thy supplication with which thou hast made supplication before Me; I have hallowed this house that thou hast built to put My name there--unto the age, and Mine eyes and My heart have been there all the days.
4
`And thou--if thou dost walk before Me as David thy father walked, in simplicity of heart, and in uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded thee--My statutes and My judgments thou dost keep--
5
then I have established the throne of thy kingdom over Israel--to the age, as I spake unto David thy father, saying, There is not cut off to thee a man from being on the throne of Israel.
6
`If ye at all turn back--you and your sons--from after Me, and keep not My commands--My statutes, that I have set before you, and ye have gone and served other gods, and bowed yourselves to them,
7
then I have cut off Israel from the face of the ground that I have given to them, and the house that I have hallowed for My name I send away from My presence, and Israel hath been for a simile and for a byword among all the peoples;
8
as to this house, that is high, every one passing by it is astonished, and hath hissed, and they have said, Wherefore hath Jehovah done thus to this land and to this house?
9
and they have said, Because that they have forsaken Jehovah their God, who brought out their fathers from the land of Egypt, and they lay hold on other gods, and bow themselves to them, and serve them; therefore hath Jehovah brought in upon them all this evil.'
