1 Kings 8:46 - Forerunner Commentary

1 Kings 8:46

44 “When Your people go out to battle against their enemy, wherever You send them, and when they pray to the Lord toward the city which You have chosen and the temple which I have built for Your name,

45 then hear in heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their¹ cause.

46 “When they sin against You ^a(for there is no one who does not sin), and You become angry with them and deliver them to the enemy, and they take them captive ^bto the land of the enemy, far or near;

47 ^ayet when they come to themselves in the land where they were carried captive, and repent, and make supplication to You in the land of those who took them captive, ^bsaying, ‘We have sinned and done wrong, we have committed wickedness’;

48 and when they ^areturn to You with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their enemies who led them away captive, and ^bpray to You toward their land which You gave to their fathers, the city which You have chosen and the temple which I have built for Your name:

49 then hear in heaven Your dwelling place their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their¹ cause,

50 and forgive Your people who have sinned against You, and all their transgressions which they have transgressed against You; and ^agrant them compassion before those who took them captive, that they may have compassion on them

51 (for ^athey are Your people and Your inheritance, whom You brought out of Egypt, ^bout of the iron furnace),

52 ^athat Your eyes may be open to the supplication of Your servant and the supplication of Your people Israel, to listen to them whenever they call to You.

53 For You separated them from among all the peoples of the earth to be Your inheritance, ^aas You spoke by Your servant Moses, when You brought our fathers out of Egypt, O Lord God.”
