¹²Then Yahweh appeared to Solomon at night and said to him, “I have heard your prayer and ^ahave chosen this place for Myself as a house of sacrifice.

¹³“^aIf I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or if I command the grasshopper to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among My people,

¹⁴^aand My people ¹who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their evil ways, then I will listen from heaven, I will forgive their sin, and I will heal their land.

¹⁵“^aNow My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to the ¹prayer offered in this place.

¹⁶“So ^anow I have chosen and set this house apart as holy that My name may be there forever, and My eyes and My heart will be there perpetually.

¹⁷“As for you, if you will walk before Me as your father David walked, even to do according to all that I have commanded you, and will keep My statutes and My judgments,

¹⁸then I will establish your royal throne as I cut a covenant with your father David, saying, ‘¹^aYou shall not have a man cut off as ruler in 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.
