1 Kings 9:2-9

² that the Lord appeared to Solomon a second time , as He had appeared to him at Gibeon . ³ The Lord said to him, " I have heard your prayer and your supplication , which you have made before Me; I have consecrated this house which you have built by putting My name there forever e , and My eyes and My heart will be there perpetually e . ⁴ "As for you, if you will walk before Me as your father David walked , in integrity of heart and uprightness , doing according to all that I have commanded you and will keep My statutes and My ordinances , ⁵ then I will establish the throne of your kingdom over Israel forever , just as I promised to your father David , saying , 'You shall not lack a man on the throne of Israel .' ⁶ " But if you or your sons indeed turn away from following Me, and do not keep My commandments and My statutes which I have set before you, and go and serve other gods and worship them, ⁷ then I will cut off Israel from the land which I have given them, and the house which I have consecrated for My name , I will cast out of My sight . So Israel will become a proverb and a byword among all peoples . ⁸ "And this house will become a heap of ruins ; everyone who passes by will be astonished and hiss and say , ' Why e has the Lord done thus to this land and to this house ?' ⁹ "And they will say , ' Because e they forsook the Lord their God , who brought their fathers out of the land of Egypt , and adopted other gods and worshiped them and served them, therefore e the Lord has brought all this adversity on them.'
