What You spoke with Your mouth You fulfilled with Your hand, as it is today.' 25 'Now, LORD, God of Israel, keep for Your servant David, my father, what You promised him: “You shall never fail to have a descendant to sit on the throne of Israel before Me, if only your descendants are careful to walk before Me as you have walked before Me.”' 26 'Now therefore, God of Israel, confirm the word that You have spoken to Your servant, my father David.' 27 'But will God indeed dwell on the earth? Even the heavens, the highest heavens, cannot contain You. How much less this house that I have built!' 28 'Yet regard the prayer of Your servant and his supplication, LORD my God. Listen to the cry and the prayer that Your servant prays before You today.' 29 'May Your eyes be open toward this house day and night, toward the place of which You said, “My name shall be there,” to hear the prayer that Your servant prays toward this place.' 30 'Hear the supplication of Your servant and of Your people Israel when they pray toward this place. Hear from heaven, Your dwelling place, and when You hear, forgive.' 31 If someone sins against a neighbor and is asked to swear an oath, and they come and take the oath before Your altar in this house, 32 then hear from heaven and act. Judge Your servants, condemning the guilty by bringing their conduct down on their own heads and vindicating the innocent by rewarding them according to their righteousness. 33 When Your people Israel are defeated by an enemy because they have sinned against You, and if they turn back to You, confess Your name, pray, and plead with You in this house, 34 then hear from heaven, forgive the sin of Your people Israel, and bring them back to the land You gave to their ancestors. 35 When the heavens are shut up and there is no rain because they have sinned against You, if they pray toward this place, confess Your name, and turn from their sin because You have afflicted them, 36 then hear from heaven and forgive the sin of Your servants and Your people Israel. Teach them the right way to live, and send rain on the land You gave Your people as an inheritance. 37 When famine or plague comes to the land, or blight, mildew, locusts, or grasshoppers, or when an enemy besieges them in any of their cities, or whatever disaster or disease may come, 38 and when a prayer or plea is made by anyone among all Your people Israel—being aware of the afflictions in their own hearts and spreading out their hands toward this house— 39 then hear from heaven, Your dwelling place. Forgive and act, and give to each one according to all they do, since You know their hearts (for You alone know every human heart), 40 so that they may fear You all the days they live in the land You gave to our ancestors. 41 As for the foreigner who is not of Your people Israel but comes from a distant land because of Your name— 42 for they will hear of Your great name, Your mighty hand, and Your outstretched arm. When they come and pray toward this house, 43 then hear from heaven, Your dwelling place, and do according to all the foreigner asks You for, so that all the peoples of the earth may know Your name and fear You, as do Your people Israel, and may know that this house I have built is called by Your name. 44 When Your people go out to fight against their enemies, wherever You send them, and when they pray to the LORD in the direction of the city You have chosen and the temple I have built for Your name, 45 then hear from heaven their prayer and their plea, and uphold their cause. 46 When they sin against You—for there is no one who does not sin—and You become angry with them and give them over to their enemies, who take them captive to a land far away or near, 47 and if they have a change of heart in the land where they are held captive, and repent and plead with You in the land of their captors, saying, 'We have sinned, we have done wrong, we have acted wickedly'; 48 and if they turn back to You with all their heart and soul in the land of their enemies who took them captive, and pray to You in the direction of the land You gave to their ancestors, the city You have chosen, and the temple I have built for Your name, 49 then hear their prayer and their plea from heaven, Your dwelling place, and uphold their cause. 50 Forgive Your people who have sinned against You; forgive all the offenses they have committed against You, and cause their captors to show them mercy, 51 for they are Your people and Your inheritance, whom You brought out of Egypt, out of the iron-smelting furnace. 52 May Your eyes be open to Your servant’s plea and to the plea of Your people Israel, and may You listen to them whenever they call to You. 53 For You set them apart from all the peoples of the earth to be Your inheritance, as You spoke through Your servant Moses when You brought our ancestors out of Egypt, O LORD God.
  • 2 Kgs 11:14 : 14 She saw the king standing by the pillar as was the custom. The commanders and the trumpeters were with the king, and all the people of the land were rejoicing and blowing trumpets. Athaliah tore her clothes and shouted, 'Treason! Treason!'
  • 2 Kgs 23:3 : 3 The king stood by the pillar and made a covenant before the Lord to follow the Lord, to keep His commandments, His testimonies, and His statutes with all his heart and all his soul, and to uphold the words of the covenant written in this book.
