26 aAnd now I pray, O God of Israel, let Your word come true, which You have spoken to Your servant David my father.  
27 “But awill God indeed dwell on the earth? Behold, heaven and the bheaven of heavens cannot contain You. How much less this temple which I have built!  
28 Yet regard the prayer of Your servant and his supplication, O Lord my God, and listen to the cry and the prayer which Your servant is praying before You today:
29 that Your eyes may be open toward this1 temple night and day, toward the place of which You said, a‘My name shall be bthere,’ that You may hear the prayer which Your servant makes ctoward this place.  
30 aAnd may You hear the supplication of Your servant and of Your people Israel, when they pray toward this place. Hear in heaven Your dwelling place; and when You hear, forgive.  
31 “When anyone sins against his neighbor, and is forced to take aan oath, and comes and takes an oath before Your altar in this temple,  
32 then hear in heaven, and act, and judge Your servants, acondemning the wicked, bringing his way on his head, and justifying the righteous by giving him according to his righteousness.

I & II Kings

THE FIRST AND SECOND BOOKS OF KINGS, in the ancient copies of the Hebrew Bible, constitute one book. Various titles have been given them; in the Septuagint and the Vulgate they are called the Third and Fourth Books of Kings. The authorship of these books is unknown; but the prevailing opinion is that they were compiled by Ezra, or one of the later prophets, from the ancient documents that are so frequently referred to in the course of the history as of public and established authority. Their inspired character was acknowledged by the Jewish Church, which ranked them in the sacred canon; and, besides, it is attested by our Lord, who frequently quotes from them (compare I Kings 17:9; II Kings 5:14 with Luke 4:24-27; I Kings 10:1 with Matthew 12:42).
