1 Kings 9:3-7
New International Version
3 The Lord said to him:
“I have heard(A) the prayer and plea you have made before me; I have consecrated this temple, which you have built, by putting my Name(B) there forever. My eyes(C) and my heart will always be there.
4 “As for you, if you walk before me faithfully with integrity of heart(D) and uprightness, as David(E) your father did, and do all I command and observe my decrees and laws,(F) 5 I will establish(G) your royal throne over Israel forever, as I promised David your father when I said, ‘You shall never fail(H) to have a successor on the throne of Israel.’
6 “But if you[a] or your descendants turn away(I) from me and do not observe the commands and decrees I have given you[b] and go off to serve other gods(J) and worship them, 7 then I will cut off Israel from the land(K) I have given them and will reject this temple I have consecrated for my Name.(L) Israel will then become a byword(M) and an object of ridicule(N) among all peoples.
