2 Chronicles 7:12, 16, 20

Then 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.

For now I have chosen and consecrated this house that my name may be there forever. My eyes and my heart will be there for all time.

then I will pluck you up from my land that I have given you, and this house that I have consecrated for my name, I will cast out of my sight, and I will make it a proverb and a byword among all peoples.
