13 And I will be ever among the children of Israel, and will not go away from my people.

Matthew Henry's Commentary on 1 Kings 6:13

Commentary on 1 Kings 6:11-14

(Read 1 Kings 6:11-14)

None employ themselves for God, without having his eye upon them. But God plainly let Solomon know that all the charge for building this temple, would neither excuse from obedience to the law of God, nor shelter from his judgments, in case of disobedience.
