1 Kings 9:1-5

1 Kings 9:1-5 NLT

So Solomon finished building the Temple of the LORD, as well as the royal palace. He completed everything he had planned to do. Then the LORD appeared to Solomon a second time, as he had done before at Gibeon. 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. “As for you, if you will follow me with integrity and godliness, as David your father did, obeying all my commands, decrees, and regulations, 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.’
