And it came to pass, when Solomon had finished building the house of the Lord and the house of the king and all Solomon's undertaking, whatever he desired to do,
9:2
καὶὤφθηκύριοςτῷΣαλωμωνδεύτερονκαθὼςὤφθηἐνΓαβαων
耶和華第二次向所羅門顯現,如同從前在迦巴翁向他顯現一樣。
the Lord appeared to Solomon a second time, as he had appeared at Gabaon.
And the Lord said to him: I have heard the voice of your prayer and of your supplication which you made before me; I have done for you according to all your prayer. I have hallowed this house which you built, to put my name there for ever; and my eyes shall be there, and my heart, all the days.
And as for you, if you walk before me as David your father walked, in holiness of heart and in uprightness, doing according to all that I commanded him, and if you keep my ordinances and my commandments,
then I will establish the throne of your kingdom over Israel for ever, as I spoke to David your father, saying: There shall not be taken away from you a man to lead in Israel.
But if you and your children turn away from me and do not keep my commandments and my ordinances, which Moses set before you, and go and serve other gods and bow down to them,
then I will cut off Israel from the land which I gave them, and this house which I hallowed for my name I will cast away from my presence; and Israel shall become a desolation and a byword among all the peoples.
And this lofty house — everyone who passes through it shall be astonished and shall hiss, and they shall say: For what reason has the Lord done thus to this land and to this house?
And they shall say: Because they forsook the Lord their God, who brought their fathers out of Egypt, out of the house of bondage, and took hold of foreign gods and bowed down to them and served them; therefore the Lord brought upon them this evil. Then Solomon brought Pharao's daughter up out of the city of David into his house which he had built for himself in those days.
Chiram king of Tyre had supported Solomon with cedar timber and pine timber and with gold and with all his desire; then the king gave Chiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee.
