1 Kings 8:47-49
International Children’s Bible
47 Your people might be sorry for their sins when they are held as prisoners in another country. Perhaps they will be sorry and pray to you in the land where they are held as prisoners. They might say, ‘We have sinned and done wrong.’ 48 They may truly turn back to you in the land of their enemies. Perhaps they will pray to you, facing this land you gave their fathers. They may pray to you, facing this city you have chosen. They may face this Temple I have built for your worship. 49 If they do, then please hear them from your home in heaven. Hear their prayers and do what is right.

47 and if they have a change of heart in the land where they are held captive, and repent and plead(A) with you in the land of their captors and say, ‘We have sinned, we have done wrong, we have acted wickedly’;(B) 48 and if they turn back(C) to you with all their heart(D) and soul in the land of their enemies who took them captive, and pray(E) to you toward the land you gave their ancestors, toward the city you have chosen and the temple(F) I have built for your Name;(G) 49 then from heaven, your dwelling place, hear their prayer and their plea, and uphold their cause.
