New English Translation

2 the Lord appeared to Solomon a second time, in the same way he had appeared to him at Gibeon.[a] 3 The Lord said to him, “I have answered[b] your prayer and your request for help that you made to me. I have consecrated this temple you built by making it my permanent home;[c] I will be constantly present there.[d] 4 You must serve me with integrity and sincerity, just as your father David did. Do everything I commanded and obey my rules and regulations.[e]
