1 Kings 8:51-53

EasyEnglish Bible

⁵¹ Remember that they are your special people who belong to you. You brought them out of Egypt where they were like prisoners in a very hot oven.

⁵² I pray that you will carefully watch over me, your servant. Please answer my prayers and the prayers of your people, the Israelites. Whenever we pray to you, please listen to us. ⁵³ From all the nations of the world you chose Israel to belong to you as your special people. Almighty Lord, this is what you promised to your servant Moses when you brought our ancestors out of Egypt.’
