  1. 2 Chronicles 6:40 Instead of concluding Solomon’s prayer of dedication as it is recorded in 1 Kin 8:50-53, the author of this book ends it with this quote from Ps 132:8-10.

40 “Now, my God, may your eyes be open and your ears attentive(A) to the prayers offered in this place.

41 “Now arise,(B) Lord God, and come to your resting place,(C)
    you and the ark of your might.
May your priests,(D) Lord God, be clothed with salvation,
    may your faithful people rejoice in your goodness.(E)
42 Lord God, do not reject your anointed one.(F)
    Remember the great love(G) promised to David your servant.”
