The LORD is speaking to Solomon in a second appearance, after the temple and palace are finished. Having promised in verse 3 that His Name and heart would remain on the temple, God now names the other side of the covenant: if Solomon or his sons turn to other gods, Israel will be cut off from the land and the temple will be banished from His presence.
