1 Kings 8:39-42

International Children’s Bible

³⁹ please hear his prayer. Hear it from your home in heaven. Then forgive the people and help them. Only you know what people are really thinking. So judge each person, and do to him what is right. ⁴⁰ Do this so your people will respect you all the time they live in this land. This is the land you gave to our ancestors.

^41-42 “People who are not Israelites, who come from other lands, will hear about your greatness and power. They will come from far away to pray at this Temple.
