1 Kings 8:44–49

⁴⁴“When Your people go out to battle against their enemy, wherever You send them, and when they pray to the Lord toward the city which You have chosen and the temple which I have built for Your name, ⁴⁵then hear in heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their ⁸cause.

⁴⁶“When they sin against You ^g(for there is no one who does not sin), and You become angry with them and deliver them to the enemy, and they take them captive ^hto the land of the enemy, far or near; ⁴⁷ⁱyet when they ⁹come to themselves in the land where they were carried captive, and repent, and make supplication to You in the land of those who took them captive, ^jsaying, ‘We have sinned and done wrong, we have committed wickedness’; ⁴⁸and when they ^kreturn to You with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their enemies who led them away captive, and ^lpray to You toward their land which You gave to their fathers, the city which You have chosen and the temple which I have built for Your name: ⁴⁹then hear in heaven Your dwelling place their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their ¹cause,
