1 Kings 8:47-49

International Standard Version

⁴⁷ if they turn their hearts back to you^[a] in the land where they have been taken captive, repent, and pray to you—even if they do so in the land of their captivity—confessing, ‘We have sinned, we have committed abominations, and practiced wickedness,’ ⁴⁸ if they return to you with all of their heart and with all of their soul in the land of their enemies who have taken them captive, as they pray to you in the direction of their land that you have given to their ancestors and to the city that you have chosen, and to the Temple that I have built for your name, ⁴⁹ then hear their prayer and requests in heaven, where you reside, and fight for their cause,
