Context of 2 Chronicles 6:35
33then hear ⌞them⌟ in heaven, the place where you live. Do everything they ask you so that all the people of the world may know your name and fear you like your people Israel and learn that this temple which I built bears your name. 34“When your people go to war against their enemies (wherever you may send them) and they pray to you toward this city you have chosen and the temple I built for your name, then hear their prayer for mercy in heaven, and do what is right ⌞for them⌟. 36“They may sin against you. (No one is sinless.) You may become angry with them and hand them over to an enemy who takes them to ⌞another⌟ country as captives, ⌞whether it is⌟ far or near. 37If they come to their senses, are sorry for what they’ve done, and plead with you in the land where they are captives, saying, ‘We have sinned. We have done wrong. We have been wicked,’
