Concerning this temple you are building, if you keep all my decrees and regulations and obey all my commands, I will fulfill through you the promise I made to your father, David.
This prophecy is given during the construction of the temple by Solomon. God speaks to Solomon, reminding him of the conditional promise made to David regarding the establishment of his kingdom.

Fulfilled in1 Kings 8:20; 1 Kings 9:4-5
The promise to David is partially fulfilled as Solomon completes the temple and God establishes his kingdom. However, the full realization of this promise is contingent upon obedience, which is later compromised, leading to the division of the kingdom.
This prophecy underscores the conditional nature of God's promises based on obedience, highlighting the importance of faithfulness to God's commands. It also points to the Davidic covenant, which is ultimately fulfilled in Jesus Christ, the eternal King.
