2 Chronicles 7:12, 16, 20

Then the LORD appeared to Solomon at night and said to him, “I have heard your prayer and have chosen this place for myself to be a Temple for sacrifices.

I have chosen this Temple and made it holy. So I will be worshiped there forever. Yes, I will always watch over it and love it.

If you do, I will take the Israelites out of my land, the land I have given them, and I will leave this Temple that I have made holy. All the nations will make fun of it and speak evil about it.
