Bible. Kings, 1st
11:008:045 Then hear thou in heaven their prayer and their supplication,
and maintain their cause.
11:008:046 If they sin against thee, (for there is no man that sinneth
not,) and thou be angry with them, and deliver them to the
enemy, so that they carry them away captives unto the land of
the enemy, far or near;
11:008:047 Yet if they shall bethink themselves in the land whither they
were carried captives, and repent, and make supplication unto
thee in the land of them that carried them captives, saying,
We have sinned, and have done perversely, we have committed
wickedness;
11:008:048 And so return unto thee with all their heart, and with all
their soul, in the land of their enemies, which led them away
captive, and pray unto thee toward their land, which thou
gavest unto their fathers, the city which thou hast chosen,
and the house which I have built for thy name:
11:008:049 Then hear thou their prayer and their supplication in heaven
thy dwelling place, and maintain their cause,
11:008:050 And forgive thy people that have sinned against thee, and all
their transgressions wherein they have transgressed against
thee, and give them compassion before them who carried them
captive, that they may have compassion on them:
11:008:051 For they be thy people, and thine inheritance, which thou
broughtest forth out of Egypt, from the midst of the furnace
of iron:
11:008:052 That thine eyes may be open unto the supplication of thy
servant, and unto the supplication of thy people Israel, to
hearken unto them in all that they call for unto thee.
11:008:053 For thou didst separate them from among all the people of the
earth, to be thine inheritance, as thou spakest by the hand of
Moses thy servant, when thou broughtest our fathers out of
Egypt, O LORD God.
11:008:054 And it was so, that when Solomon had made an end of praying
all this prayer and supplication unto the LORD, he arose from
before the altar of the LORD, from kneeling on his knees with
his hands spread up to heaven.
11:008:055 And he stood, and blessed all the congregation of Israel with
a loud voice, saying,
11:008:056 Blessed be the LORD, that hath given rest unto his people
Israel, according to all that he promised: there hath not
failed one word of all his good promise, which he promised by
the hand of Moses his servant.
11:008:057 The LORD our God be with us, as he was with our fathers: let
him not leave us, nor forsake us:
11:008:058 That he may incline our hearts unto him, to walk in all his
ways, and to keep his commandments, and his statutes, and his
judgments, which he commanded our fathers.
