1 Kings 8:44-53
44If thy peopleH5971 goH3318 out to battleH4421 against their enemyH341, by whatsoever wayH1870 thou shalt sendH7971 them, and they prayH6419 unto Jehovah toward the cityH5892 which thou hast chosenH977, and toward the houseH1004 which I have builtH1129 for thy nameH8034; 45then hearH8085 thou in heavenH8064 their prayerH8605 and their supplicationH8467, and maintain their cause.
46If they sinH2398 against thee (for there is no manH120 that sinneth not), and thou be angryH599 with them, and deliver them to the enemyH341, so that they carry them away captiveH7617 unto the landH776 of the enemyH341, farH7350 off or near; 47yet if they shall bethink themselves in the landH776 whither they are carried captiveH7617, and turnH7725 again, and make supplication unto thee in the landH776 of them that carried them captiveH7617, sayingH559, We have sinnedH2398, and have done perversely, we have dealt wickedlyH7561; 48if they returnH7725 unto thee with all their heartH3824 and with all their soulH5315 in the landH776 of their enemiesH341, who carried them captiveH7617, and prayH6419 unto thee toward their landH776, which thou gavest unto their fathersH1, the cityH5892 which thou hast chosenH977, and the houseH1004 which I have builtH1129 for thy nameH8034: 49then hearH8085 thou their prayerH8605 and their supplicationH8467 in heavenH8064 thy dwelling-place, and maintain their cause; 50and forgiveH5545 thy peopleH5971 who have sinnedH2398 against thee, and all their transgressionsH6588 wherein they have transgressedH6586 against thee; and giveH5414 them compassionH7355 before those who carried them captiveH7617, that they may have compassionH7355 on them 51(for they are thy peopleH5971, and thine inheritanceH5159, which thou broughtest forthH3318 out of EgyptH4714, from the midstH8432 of the furnaceH3564 of ironH1270); 52that thine eyesH5869 may beH1961 openH6605 unto the supplicationH8467 of thy servantH5650, and unto the supplicationH8467 of thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, to hearken unto them whensoever they cry unto thee. 53For thou didst separateH914 them from among all the peoplesH5971 of the earthH776, to be thine inheritanceH5159, as thou spakest by MosesH4872 thy servantH5650, when thou broughtest our fathersH1 out of EgyptH4714, O LordH136 Jehovah.
