ylt @1Kings:9:1 @And it cometh to pass , at Solomon 's finishing to build the house of Jehovah , and the house of the king , and all the desire of Solomon that he delighted to do , ylt @1Kings:9:2 @that Jehovah appeareth unto Solomon a second time , as He appeared unto him in Gibeon , ylt @1Kings:9:3 @and Jehovah saith unto him , 'I have heard thy prayer and thy supplication with which thou hast made supplication before Me ; I have hallowed this house that thou hast built to put My name there -- unto the age , and Mine eyes and My heart have been there all the days . ylt @1Kings:9:4 @'And thou -- if thou dost walk before Me as David thy father walked , in simplicity of heart , and in uprightness , to do according to all that I have commanded thee -- My statutes and My judgments thou dost keep -- ylt @1Kings:9:5 @then I have established the throne of thy kingdom over Israel -- to the age , as I spake unto David thy father , saying , There is not cut off to thee a man from [being ] on the throne of Israel . ylt @1Kings:9:6 @'If ye at all turn back -- you and your sons -- from after Me , and keep not My commands -- My statutes , that I have set before you , and ye have gone and served other gods , and bowed yourselves to them , ylt @1Kings:9:7 @then I have cut off Israel from the face of the ground that I have given to them , and the house that I have hallowed for My name I send away from My presence , and Israel hath been for a simile and for a byword among all the peoples ; ylt @1Kings:9:8 @as to this house , [that ] is high , every one passing by it is astonished , and hath hissed , and they have said , Wherefore hath Jehovah done thus to this land and to this house ? ylt @1Kings:9:9 @and they have said , Because that they have forsaken Jehovah their God , who brought out their fathers from the land of Egypt , and they lay hold on other gods , and bow themselves to them , and serve them ; therefore hath Jehovah brought in upon them all this evil .'
