And the LORD said unto him, I have heard thy prayer and thy supplication, that thou hast made before me: I have hallowed this house, which thou hast built, to put my name there for ever; and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually.

Verse 3 is found in chapter 9 of 1 Kings. God appears to Solomon again after the temple is completed and responds to his prayer. He confirms that he has consecrated the house to place his name there, but again links the dynasty’s permanence to obedience. If Israel abandons the Lord, the temple itself can become an object of astonishment and reproach. The central teaching is that Jerusalem’s election does not remove the conditions of the covenant.

Und der HERR sprach zu ihm: Ich habe dein Gebet und Flehen gehört, das du vor mir gefleht hast, und habe dies Haus geheiligt, das du gebaut hast, daß ich meinen Namen dahin setze ewiglich; und meine Augen und mein Herz sollen da sein allewege.
Y díjole Jehová: Yo he oído tu oración y tu ruego, que has hecho en mi presencia. Yo he santificado esta casa que tú has edificado, para poner mi nombre en ella para siempre; y en ella estarán mis ojos y mi corazón todos los días.
Jehová le dijo: «He escuchado tu oración y la súplica que presentaste delante de mí. He consagrado esta casa que has construido para poner allí mi nombre para siempre. Mis ojos y mi corazón estarán allí todos los días.
Et l'Eternel 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 coeur.
e gli disse: Io ho esaudita la tua orazione e la tua supplicazione, che tu hai fatta davanti a me; io ho santificata questa Casa, la quale tu hai edificata per mettervi il mio Nome in perpetuo; e gli occhi miei, e il cuor mio saranno del continuo là.
E o SENHOR lhe disse: Ouvi a tua oração, e a súplica que fizeste perante mim; santifiquei a casa que edificaste, a fim de pôr ali o meu nome para sempre; e os meus olhos e o meu coração estarão ali todos os dias.
耶和華對他說:「我已聽了你在我面前的禱告和祈求,將你所建的這殿分別為聖,使我的名永遠立在那裏;我的眼、我的心也必時常在那裏。
