11 And the word of Jehovah came to Solomon saying, 12 As to this house which thou art building, if thou wilt walk in my statutes, and practise mine ordinances, and keep all my commandments to walk in them, then will I perform my word as to thee which I spoke unto David thy father; 13 and I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will not forsake my people Israel. 14 And Solomon built the house and finished it.

Commentary on 1 Kings 6:11-14
(Read 1 Kings 6:11-14)
None employ themselves for God, without having his eye upon them. But God plainly let Solomon know that all the charge for building this temple, would neither excuse from obedience to the law of God, nor shelter from his judgments, in case of disobedience.
