# 1 Kings

## Chapter 9

Introduction Chapters 1 and 2 Chapter 3 Chapters 4 and 5 Chapter 6 Chapter 7 Chapter 8 Chapter 9 Chapter 10 Chapters 11 and 12 Chapter 13 Chapters 14 to 16 Chapters 17 and 18 Chapter 19 Chapter 20 Chapter 21 Chapter 22 Conclusion | #### God's answer: the enjoyment of blessing conditional on faithfulness The answer which God gives establishes the house as the place in which He has set His name for ever. His eyes and His heart shall be there perpetually; but, at the same time, for the enjoyment of the granted blessing, the dynasty of Solomon, the people of Israel, and even the house itself, are subjected to the condition of faithfulness to Jehovah on the part of Solomon and his children. If he, or his posterity, should turn away to serve other gods, Israel should be cut off; and the house should become a testimony of the judgment of God to every one that passed by. We see here to what an extent the fate of Israel hung upon their king. |
