1 Kings 8:51-53

Expanded Bible

⁵¹ Remember, they are your ·special people [^Linheritance]. You brought them out of Egypt, ·as if you were pulling them out of a blazing [^Lfrom the midst of the iron-smelting] furnace.

⁵² “·Give your attention to my prayers and [^LMay your eyes be open to] the ·prayers [pleas; requests; supplications] of your people Israel. Listen to them anytime they ·ask you for help [call/cry out to you]. ⁵³ You ·chose them [set them apart; separated them; singled them out] from all the ·nations [peoples] on earth to be your ·very own people [inheritance]. This is what you ·promised [spoke] through Moses your servant when you brought our ancestors out of Egypt, Lord God.”
