1 Kings 8:33 - Forerunner Commentary

1 Kings 8:33

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.

33 ^a“When Your people Israel are defeated before an enemy because they have sinned against You, and ^bwhen they turn back to You and confess Your name, and pray and make supplication to You in this temple,

34 then hear in heaven, and forgive the sin of Your people Israel, and bring them back to the land which You gave to their ^afathers.

35 ^a“When the heavens are shut up and there is no rain because they have sinned against You, when they pray toward this place and confess Your name, and turn from their sin because You afflict them,

36 then hear in heaven, and forgive the sin of Your servants, Your people Israel, that You may ^ateach them ^bthe good way in which they should walk; and send rain on Your land which You have given to Your people as an inheritance.

37 ^a“When there is famine in the land, pestilence or blight or mildew, locusts or grasshoppers; when their enemy besieges them in the land of their¹ cities; whatever plague or whatever sickness there is;

38 whatever prayer, whatever supplication is made by anyone, or by all Your people Israel, when each one knows the plague of his own heart, and spreads out his hands toward this temple:
