God’s Promise and Warning

11 (A)So Solomon finished the house of the Lord and the king’s palace, and successfully completed everything that [a]he had planned on doing in the house of the Lord and in his palace.

12 Then the Lord appeared to Solomon at night and said to him, “I have heard your prayer and (B)have chosen this place for Myself as a house of sacrifice. 13 (C)If I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or if I command the locust to devour the land, or if I send a plague among My people, 14 (D)and My people [b]who are called by My name humble themselves, and pray and seek My face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land. 15 (E)Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to the [c]prayer offered in this place.
