2 Chronicles 7

Shlomo completes the Bayit (Temple); YHWH appears in fire and accepts it, instructing Shlomo that if he obeys Torah, YHWH will dwell there forever, but disobedience will lead to exile. Shlomo dedicates the Bayit with sacrifices, feasting, and YHWH promises to hear prayers toward the Bayit, sending rain and forgiving sins upon repentance.[1][6]
