¹²And the Lord appeared to Solomon by night, and said unto him, I have heard thy prayer, and ^ohave chosen this place to myself for a house of sacrifice. ¹³^pIf I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the ^qlocusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people; ¹⁴if my people, which are called by my name, shall ^rhumble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; ^sthen will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land. ¹⁵^tNow mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attent unto the prayer that is made in this place. ¹⁶For now have ^uI chosen and sanctified this house, that my name may be there for ever: and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually. ¹⁷And as for thee, if thou wilt walk before me, as David thy father walked, and do according to all that I have commanded thee, and shalt observe my statutes and my judgments; ¹⁸then will I stablish the throne of thy kingdom, according as I have covenanted with David thy father, saying, There shall not fail thee a man to be ruler in Israel.
