Context of 2 Chronicles 7:15

13If I close the sky so there is no rain, or if I command the locust to devour the land, or if I send a plague among My people, 14and 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, forgive their sin, and heal their land.

My eyes and My heart will be there for all time. 17And as for you, if you walk before Me as your father David walked, doing all I have commanded you, and if you keep My statutes and ordinances,

• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 13-15These verses refer directly to Solomon’s prayer (see 2 Chronicles 6:26, 28, 40). God explained to Solomon what is needed to be saved from judgment. In Solomon’s prayer, each situation was addressed separately. In the Lord’s answer, the response is more general and thorough. The people need humility, repentance, seeking the Lord, and prayer to heal from their troubles.Read the comment
