1 Kings 8:41-43

The Voice

⁴¹ Whenever a foreigner, a person who is not a part of Your community of Israel, comes from a distant land in honor of Your name ⁴² (for everyone will hear about Your great reputation, mighty actions, and outstretched strength), when he prays in the direction of this temple; ⁴³ then You will hear in heaven where You dwell and grant the foreigner’s requests. This is so Your reputation will spread all throughout the earth and so all may live in awe and fear of You, just as Your people Israel do, and so all will know that this temple I raised honors Your reputation.
