¹²Then Yahweh appeared to Solomon at night and said to him, “I have heard your prayer and have chosen this place for myself as a house of sacrifice. ¹³When I hold back the heavens so that there is not rain, and when I command the locust to devour the earth, and if I send disease among my people, ¹⁴then if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and will pray and will seek my face and will turn from their evil ways, then I myself shall hear from the heavens and will forgive their sins and heal their land. ¹⁵Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayer of this place. ¹⁶And now I have chosen and consecrated this house for my name to be there forever. My eyes and my heart will be there for all time.^d ¹⁷Now as for you, if you will walk before me as David your father walked and do according to all that I have commanded you and will keep my ordinances and judgments, ¹⁸then I will establish the throne of your kingdom as I promised^e to David your father, saying, ‘A man shall not be cut off for you from ruling over Israel.’

Read in Logos

2 Chronicles 7:14: if my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.
