1 Kings 8:48-50

International Children’s Bible

⁴⁸ They may truly turn back to you in the land of their enemies. Perhaps they will pray to you, facing this land you gave their fathers. They may pray to you, facing this city you have chosen. They may face this Temple I have built for your worship. ⁴⁹ If they do, then please hear them from your home in heaven. Hear their prayers and do what is right. ⁵⁰ Forgive your people of all their sins. And forgive them for turning against you. Make those who have taken them as prisoners show them mercy.
