1 Kings 8:44-46

Christian Standard Bible

⁴⁴ When your people go out to fight against their enemies,^[a]
wherever you send them,
and they pray to the Lord
in the direction of the city you have chosen^(A)
and the temple I have built for your name,
⁴⁵ may you hear their prayer and petition in heaven
and uphold their cause.^(B)
46 When they sin against you—
for there is no one who does not sin^(C)—
and you are angry with them
and hand them over to the enemy,
and their captors deport them to the enemy’s country^(D)—
whether distant or nearby—
