11 Now the word of the Lord came to Solomon saying , 12 "Concerning this house which you are building , if you will walk in My statutes and execute My ordinances and keep all My commandments by walking in them, then I will carry out My word with you which I spoke to David your father . 13 " I will dwell among the sons of Israel , and will not forsake My people Israel ." 14 So Solomon built the house and finished it.

(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.
