1 Kings 8:39-45

³⁹Then do thou hear in heaven the place of thy dwelling, and forgive, and act, and give to every man in accordance with all his ways, as thou mayest know his heart; for thou, thyself alone, knowest the heart of all the children of men;

⁴⁰In order that they may fear thee all the days that they live on the face of the land which thou hast given unto our fathers.

⁴¹But also to the stranger, who is not of thy people Israel, but cometh out of a far-off country for the sake of thy name;

⁴²For they will hear of thy great name, and of thy strong hand, and of thy outstretched arm; when he will come and pray at this house:

⁴³Mayest thou listen in heaven the place of thy dwelling, and do according to all that the stranger will call on thee for; in order that all the nations of the earth may know thy name, to fear thee, as do thy people Israel; and that they may understand that this house, which I have built, is called by thy name.

⁴⁴If thy people go out to battle against their enemy, on the way on which thou mayest send them, and they do pray unto the Lord in the direction of the city which thou hast chosen, and of the house that I have built for thy name:

⁴⁵Then hear thou in heaven their prayer and their supplication, and procure them justice.
