MLV(i)
1 And it happened, when Solomon had finished the building of the house of Jehovah and the king's house and all Solomon's desire which he was pleased to do,
2 that Jehovah appeared to Solomon the second time, as he had appeared to him at Gibeon.
3 And Jehovah said to him, I have heard your prayer and your supplication, which you have made before me. I have made this house holy, which you have built, to put my name there until everlasting. And my eyes and my heart will be there perpetually.
4 And as for you, if you will walk before me, as David your father walked, in integrity of heart and in uprightness, to do 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 everlasting, just-as I promised to David your father, saying, There will not fail you a man upon the throne of Israel.
6 But if you* will turn away from following me, you* or your* sons and not keep my commandments and my statutes which I have set before you*, but will go and serve other gods and worship them, 7 then will I cut off Israel out of the land which I have given them. And this house, which I have made holy for my name, will I cast out of my sight. And Israel will be a proverb and a parable among all peoples.
8 And though this house is so high, yet will every man who passes by it is astonished and will hiss. And they will say, Why has Jehovah done thus to this land and to this house? 9 and they will answer, Because they forsook Jehovah their God, who brought out their fathers out of the land of Egypt and laid hold on other gods and worshiped them and served them; therefore has Jehovah brought all this evil upon them.
