2 Chronicles 6:14-21
14He said, “Lord, God of Israel, 1there is no god like You in heaven or on earth, 2keeping 3Your covenant and 4Your faithfulness to Your servants who walk before You with all their heart; 155You who have kept with Your servant, my father David, that which You 6promised him; You have spoken with Your mouth and have fulfilled it with Your hand, as it is this day. 16Now then, Lord, God of Israel, keep to Your servant David, my father, that which You 7promised him, saying, ‘89You shall not lack a man to sit on the throne of Israel, if only your sons pay attention to their way, to walk in My Law as you have walked before Me.’ 17Now then, Lord, God of Israel, let Your word be confirmed which You have spoken to Your servant David.
18“But 10will God really dwell with mankind on the earth? Behold, 11heaven and the 12highest heaven cannot contain You; how much less this house which I have built! 19Nevertheless, turn Your attention to the prayer of Your servant and to his plea, Lord, my God, to listen to the cry and to the prayer which Your servant prays before You; 20that Your 13eye will be open toward this house day and night, toward 14the place of which You have said that You would put Your name there, to listen to the prayer which Your servant shall pray toward this place. 21Listen to the pleadings of Your servant and of Your people Israel when they pray toward this place; hear from Your dwelling place, from heaven; 15hear and forgive.
