1 Kings 9:3 in Context — 1 Kings 9

1 Lorsque Salomon eut achevé de bâtir la maison de l’Éternel, la maison du roi, et tout ce qu’il lui plut de faire,

2 l’Éternel apparut à Salomon une seconde fois, comme il lui était apparu à Gabaon.

3 Et l’Éternel lui dit: J’exauce ta prière et ta supplication que tu m’as adressées, je sanctifie cette maison que tu as bâtie pour y mettre à jamais mon nom, et j’aurai toujours là mes yeux et mon cœur.

4 Et toi, si tu marches en ma présence comme a marché David, ton père, avec sincérité de cœur et avec droiture, faisant tout ce que je t’ai commandé, si tu observes mes lois et mes ordonnances,

5 j’établirai pour toujours le trône de ton royaume en Israël, comme je l’ai déclaré à David, ton père, en disant: Tu ne manqueras jamais d’un successeur sur le trône d’Israël.
