1 Kings 8:38-40

EasyEnglish Bible

³⁸ Then, some of your people may pray to you and ask you for help. If someone is sad and upset, he may turn towards this temple and lift up his hands in prayer. ³⁹ If someone does that, please hear him from your home in heaven. Please forgive the sins of your people and help them. Only you know what people are thinking. So please give to each person as they deserve. ⁴⁰ Then your people will respect and obey you as they live in this land that you gave to our ancestors.
