1 Kings 9:3-5

Contemporary English Version

^3 (A) The Lord said:

I heard your prayer and what you asked me to do. This temple you have built is where I will be worshiped forever. It belongs to me, and I will never stop watching over it.

⁴ You must obey me, as your father David did, and be honest and fair. Obey my laws and teachings, ^5 (B) and I will keep my promise to David that someone from your family will always be king of Israel.
