Solomon and the House of the Lord

The lord appeared to solomon in the night and said to him, i have heard your prayer and have chosen this place for myself as a house of sacrifice. When i shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or command the locusts to devour the land, or send pestilence among my people, if my people 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 will forgive their sin and heal their land. For now, i have chosen and consecrated this house that my name may be there for ever. My eyes and my heart will be there for all time.
