1Solomon prayed:
“Our Lord, you said that you
would live in a dark cloud.
2Now I've built a glorious temple
where you can live forever.”
Solomon Speaks to the People(1 Kings 8.14-21)3Solomon turned toward the people standing there. Then he blessed them
4-6 or grasshoppers, and your people will be starving. Sometimes enemies may surround their towns, or your people will become sick with deadly diseases.
29Please listen when anyone in Israel truly feels sorry and sincerely prays with arms lifted toward your temple.
30You know what is in everyone's heart. So from your home in heaven answer their prayers, according to what they do and what is in their hearts.
31Then your people will worship you and obey you for as long as they live in the land you gave their ancestors.
32Foreigners will hear about you and your mighty power, and some of them will come to live among your people Israel. If any of them pray toward this temple,
33listen from your home in heaven and answer their prayers. Then everyone on earth will worship you, just as your own people Israel do, and they will know that I have built this temple in your honor.
34Sometimes you will order your people to attack their enemies. Then your people will turn toward this temple I have built for you in your chosen city, and they will pray to you.
35Answer their prayers from heaven and give them victory.
36Everyone sins. But when your people sin against you, suppose you get angry enough to let their enemies drag them away to foreign countries.
37-39Later, they may feel sorry for what they did and ask your forgiveness. Answer them when they pray toward this temple I have built for you in your chosen city, here in this land you gave their ancestors. From your home in heaven, listen to their sincere prayers and forgive your people who have sinned against you.
40 Lord God, hear us when we pray in this temple.
41 so that you will not reject your chosen kings.
