1 Kings 9:1 In-Context

1 So Solomon finished building the Temple of the LORD, as well as the royal palace. He completed everything he had planned to do.

2 Then the LORD appeared to Solomon a second time, as he had done before at Gibeon.

3 The LORD said to him, “I have heard your prayer and your petition. I have set this Temple apart to be holy—this place you have built where my name will be honored forever. I will always watch over it, for it is dear to my heart.

4 “As for you, if you will follow me with integrity and godliness, as David your father did, obeying all my commands, decrees, and regulations,

5 then I will establish the throne of your dynasty over Israel forever. For I made this promise to your father, David: ‘One of your descendants will always sit on the throne of Israel.’
