What we're talking about is the fact not only that in the beginning of Chronicles chapter 7, Solomon ends his prayer, fire comes down from heaven, and the glory of the Lord fills the place. So, so, so beautiful and powerful. But also we have... A couple notes in chapter seven, Solomon finishes the house of the Lord and his own house, the King's house. And the Lord appears to Solomon by night.

He appears to him once again in the way that he had appeared to him before saying, ask me anything and I'll give it to you. And this time he doesn't say, you know, what do you want? He says, here's what I need you to know. He says, I need you to know that if my people who are called by my name humble themselves and seek my face, then I will hear from heaven. I'll forgive their sins.

I'll heal their land. Like I basically here's God saying, whenever you're not faithful, just remember, I am faithful. Turn back to the temple worship. Turn back to this place. Turn back to my presence. Turn back to worship.

clear, clear commandment. He's given him wisdom. Solomon knows stuff, right? He's also given him a direct, direct warning saying that just stay faithful to me and stay close to me and I'll be with you. What we know is that Solomon will not. In fact, in chapter eight, what It says, Solomon brought Pharaoh's daughter up from the city of David to the house which he had built for her.

He said, my wife shall not live in the house of David, king of Israel, for the places to which the ark of the Lord have come are holy. So you think, oh, yeah, no, he's making it separate. He's keeping Pharaoh's daughter away because she's not part of the covenant. She's not part of that covenant.

She's part of the alliance, right, between Israel and Egypt, but she's not part of the covenant in terms of belonging to the Lord God. But what is this? We noted before, when Solomon married Pharaoh's daughter, he was opening himself up for idolatry. And this is what's going to happen.
