What does 1 Kings 9:7 mean?

then I'll remove Israel from the land I gave them. I'll reject this temple I've made holy for myself, and everyone will talk about how Israel was thrown out and disgraced.' 1 Kings 9:7 - Modern Text Bible

(God makes it clear that disobedience will lead to Israel losing their land and the temple losing its special status.)
