The Lord Appears to Solomon Again^(A)

9 Solomon finished building the ·Temple [^Lhouse] of the Lord and ·his royal palace [^Lthe king’s house] and everything he wanted to build. ² Then the Lord appeared to him ·again [^La second time] just as he had done before, in Gibeon. ³ The Lord said to him: “I have heard your prayer and ·what you have asked me to do [^Lpleas/requests/supplications that you made before me]. I have ·made this Temple holy [^Lconsecrated this house] that you built, and I ·will be worshiped there [^Lhave put my name there] forever. ·I will watch over it and protect it always [^LMy eyes and my heart will be there all the days].
