¹¹ Now the word of the Lord came to Solomon, ¹² “Concerning this house that you are building, ^(A)if you will walk in my statutes and obey my rules and keep all my commandments and walk in them, then I will establish my word with you, ^(B)which I spoke to David your father. ¹³ And ^(C)I will dwell among the children of Israel ^(D)and will not forsake my people Israel.”

^14 (E)So Solomon built the house and finished it.

²² And he overlaid the whole house with gold, until all the house was finished. ^(A)Also the whole altar that belonged to the inner sanctuary he overlaid with gold.
