Solomon has prayed. Will God respond?
He does. Fire descends from heaven.
This is followed by much celebration.
But after it is all over, God appears yet again to Solomon and, on the one hand, asserts that he has accepted Solomon's prayer. On the other hand he warns that any promises are conditional. If the Torah and it slaws are not observed, then all the promises will be reneged.
As we show, this is fundamentally the covenant of Sefer Devarim - of Deuteronomy.
