2 Chronicles 20:7-9

International Standard Version

⁷ You are our God, who expelled the former inhabitants of this land right in front of our people Israel, aren’t you? Then you gave it to your friend Abraham’s descendant^[a] forever, didn’t you? ⁸ They lived in it and have built there a sanctuary for your name, where they said, ⁹ ‘If evil comes upon us, such as war^[b] as punishment, disease, or famine and we stand in your presence in this Temple (because your Name is in this Temple) and cry out to you in our distress, then you will hear and deliver.’
