2: that appearedH7200 YahwehH3068 toH0413 SolomonH8010 the second [time],H8145 asH0834 He had appearedH7200 to himH0413 at Gibeon.H1391

3: And saidH0559 YahwehH3068 to himH0413 I have heardH8085 -H0853 your prayerH8605 andH0853 your supplication,H8467 thatH0834 you have madeH2603 before MeH6440 I have consecratedH6942 -H0853 house,H1004 thisH2088 whichH0834 you have built,H1129 to putH7760 My nameH8034 thereH8033 there forH5704 ever-H5769 and will beH1961 My eyesH5869 and My heartH3820 thereH8033 perpetuallyH3605 perpetually.H3117

4: And youH0859 ifH0518 walkH1980 before MeH6440 asH0834 walked,H1980 DavidH1732 your fatherH0001 in integrityH8537 of heart,H3824 and in uprightness,H3476 to doH6213 according to allH3605 thatH0834 I have commanded youH6680 My statutesH2706 and My judgments,H4941 [and] if you keep.H8104

5: Then I will establishH6965 -H0853 the throneH3678 of your kingdomH4467 overH5921 IsraelH3478 forever,H5769 asH0834 I promisedH1696 toH5921 DavidH1732 your father,H0001 saying,H0559 notH3808 shall fail to haveH3772 a manH0376 onH5921 the throneH3678 of Israel.H3478

6: [But] ifH0518 at allH7725 turnH7725 youH0859 or your sons,H1121 from following MeH0310 and notH3808 do keepH8104 My commandmentsH4687 [and] My statutesH2708 whichH0834 I have setH5414 before youH6440 but goH1980 and serveH5647 gods,H0430 otherH0312 and worshipH7812

7: Then I will cut offH3772 -H0853 IsraelH3478 fromH5921 my sight-H6440 the landH0127 whichH0834 I have givenH5414 andH0853 this house,H1004 whichH0834 I have consecratedH6942 for My name,H8034 I will castH7971 outH5921 of My sightH6440 and will beH1961 IsraelH3478 a proverbH4912 and a bywordH8148 among allH3605 peoples.H5971

8: And [as for] house,H1004 thisH2088 [which] isH1961 exalted,H5945 everyoneH3605 who passesH5674 by itH5921 will be astonished,H8074 and will hiss-H8319 and say,H0559 uponH5921 whyH4100 has doneH6213 YahwehH3068 thusH3602 to land,H0776 thisH2063 and to houseH1004 this?H2088

9: and they will answer,H0559 thereforeH5921 becauseH0834 they forsookH5800 -H0853 YahwehH3068 their God,H0430 whoH0834 broughtH3318 -H0853 their fathersH0001 out of the landH0776 of Egypt,H4714 and have embracedH2388 godsH0430 other,H0312 and worshipedH7812 and served themH5647 uponH5921 thusH3651 has broughtH0935 YahwehH3068 on themH5921 -H0853 allH3605 calamityH7451 this.H2063

10: And it came to passH1961 at the endH7097 of twentyH6242 years,H8141 whenH0834 had builtH1129 SolomonH8010 -H0853 twoH8147 the houses,H1004 -H0853 the houseH1004 of Yahweh,H3068 andH0853 house,H1004 of the king.H4428
