my rules, observe

1 Kings 9:4-7
9:4 You must serve me with integrity and sincerity, just as your father David did. Do everything I commanded and obey my rules and regulations.
9:5 Then I will allow your dynasty to rule over Israel permanently,
just as I promised your father David, ‘You will not fail to have a successor on the throne of Israel.’
9:6 “But if you or your sons ever turn away from me, fail to obey the regulations and rules I instructed you to keep, and decide to serve and worship other gods,
9:7 then I will remove Israel from the land I have given them, I will abandon this temple I have consecrated with my presence, and Israel will be mocked and ridiculed among all the nations.

1 Kings 7:17-22
7:17 The latticework on the tops of the pillars was adorned with ornamental wreaths and chains; the top of each pillar had seven groupings of ornaments.
7:18 When he made the pillars, there were two rows of pomegranate-shaped ornaments around the latticework covering the top of each pillar.
7:19 The tops of the two pillars in the porch were shaped like lilies and were six feet high.
7:20 On the top of each pillar, right above the bulge beside the latticework, there were two hundred pomegranate-shaped ornaments arranged in rows all the way around.
7:21 He set up the pillars on the porch in front of the main hall. He erected one pillar on the right
side and called it Jakin;
he erected the other pillar on the left
side and called it Boaz.
7:22 The tops of the pillars were shaped like lilies. So the construction of the pillars was completed.
