1 Kings 9:3

And the LORD said unto him, I have heard thy prayer and thy supplication, that thou hast made before me: I have hallowed this house, which thou hast built, to put my name there for ever; and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually.

KJV

Dixitque Dominus ad eum : Exaudivi orationem tuam et deprecationem tuam, quam deprecatus es coram me : sanctificavi domum hanc quam ædificasti, ut ponerem nomen meum ibi in sempiternum, et erunt oculi mei et cor meum ibi cunctis diebus.

Vulgate

καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς αὐτὸν Κύριος Ἤκουσα τῆς φωνῆς τῆς προσευχῆς σου καὶ τῆς δεήσεώς σου ἧς ἐδεήθης ἐνώπιον ἐμοῦ· πεποίηκά σοι κατὰ πᾶσαν τὴν προσευχήν σου, ἡγίακα τὸν οἶκον τοῦτον ὃν ᾠκοδόμησας, τοῦ θέσθαι τὸ ὄνομά μου ἐκεῖ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα· καὶ ἔσονται οἱ ὀφθαλμοί μου ἐκεῖ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα, καὶ ἡ καρδία μου πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας.

LXX

And Jehovah said unto him, I have heard thy prayer and thy supplication, that thou hast made before me: I have hallowed this house, which thou hast built, to put my name there for ever; and mine eyes and my heart shall be there perpetually.
