1 Kings 8:39-45

³⁹then hear in heaven, your dwelling place, and forgive, and act, and give to every man according to all his ways, whose heart you know (for you, even you only, know the hearts of all the children of men);

⁴⁰that they may fear you all the days that they live in the land which you gave to our fathers.

⁴¹“Moreover, concerning the foreigner, who is not of your people Israel, when he comes out of a far country for your name’s sake

⁴²(for they shall hear of your great name and of your mighty hand and of your outstretched arm), when he comes and prays toward this house,

⁴³hear in heaven, your dwelling place, and do according to all that the foreigner calls to you for; that all the peoples of the earth may know your name, to fear you, as do your people Israel, and that they may know that this house which I have built is called by your name.

⁴⁴“If your people go out to battle against their enemy, by whatever way you shall send them, and they pray to Yahweh toward the city which you have chosen, and toward the house which I have built for your name,

⁴⁵then hear in heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.
