1 Kings 8:44-46

New Living Translation

⁴⁴ “If your people go out where you send them to fight their enemies, and if they pray to the Lord by turning toward this city you have chosen and toward this Temple I have built to honor your name, ⁴⁵ then hear their prayers from heaven and uphold their cause.

⁴⁶ “If they sin against you—and who has never sinned?—you might become angry with them and let their enemies conquer them and take them captive to their land far away or near.
