1 and to be like/as to end: finish Solomon to/for to build [obj] house: temple LORD and [obj] house: home [the] king and [obj] all desire Solomon which to delight in to/for to make

Now when Solomon had finished building the house of the LORD and the royal palace, and had achieved all that he had desired to do,

the LORD appeared to him a second time, as He had appeared to him at Gibeon.

then I will cut off Israel from the land that I have given them, and I will banish from My presence this temple I have sanctified for My Name. Then Israel will become an object of scorn and ridicule among all peoples.
