11And the word of Yahweh came to Solomon, saying,

12As for this house that you are building, if you walk in my statutes, carry out my judgments, and keep all my commandments by walking in them, then I will establish my word with you, which I spoke to David your father.

13And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and I will not forsake my people Israel.
