1 Kings 8:41-43

41“Foreigners, who do not belong to your people Israel, will come from a distant land because of your reputation.

42When they hear about your great reputation and your ability to accomplish mighty deeds, they will come and direct their prayers toward this temple.

43Then listen from your heavenly dwelling place and answer all the prayers of the foreigners. Then all the nations of the earth will acknowledge your reputation, obey you like your people Israel do, and recognize that this temple I built belongs to you.
