1 Kings 8:48-52
1 Kings 8:48
if they return to You with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their enemies who have taken them captive, and pray to You toward their land which You have given to their fathers, the city which You have chosen, and the house which I have built for Your name;
1 Kings 8:49
then hear their prayer and their pleading in heaven, Your dwelling place, and maintain their cause,
1 Kings 8:50
and forgive Your people who have sinned against You and all their wrongdoings which they have committed against You, and make them objects of compassion before those who have taken them captive, so that they will have compassion on them
1 Kings 8:51
(for they are Your people and Your inheritance which You have brought out of Egypt, from the midst of the iron furnace),
1 Kings 8:52
so that Your eyes may be open to the pleading of Your servant and to the pleading of Your people Israel, to listen to them whenever they call to You.
