10On the three and twentieth day of the seventh month he sent the people away to their tents, joyful and glad of heart for the goodness that Yahweh had showed to David, and to Solomon, and to Israel his people.
11Thus Solomon finished the house of Yahweh, and the king`s house: and all that came into Solomon`s heart to make in the house of Yahweh, and in his own house, he prosperously effected.
12Yahweh appeared to Solomon by night, and said to him, I have heard your prayer, and have chosen this place to myself for a house of sacrifice.
13If I shut up the sky so that there is no rain, or if I command the locust to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people;
14if my people, who are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
15Now my eyes shall be open, and my ears attentive, to the prayer that is made in this place.
16For now have I chosen and made this house holy, that my name may be there forever; and my eyes and my heart shall be there perpetually.
