BRAGADAYJAH 1006
Solomon Continued to Petition God.
Solomon, continuing his petition for God’s mercy even when
the children of Israel commit trespass, said, “If there be in the land, famine,
pestilence, blasting, mildew, caterpillar, siege by the enemy, or there be
plague or sickness in the land, and any man, or any men knowing of the
condition should lift their hand towards the house of the Lord, then shall the
Lord hear in heaven His dwelling place, and forgive and do and give to every
man according to his ways, whose heart Lord thou knowest, for thou Lord knows
the heart of the children of men. So that they may fear thee all the days that
they live in the land which thou gave unto their fathers. And also concerning a
stranger, that is not of thy people Israel, but come out of a far country for
thy name sake, having heard of thy great name and of thy strong hand, and of
your stretched out arm; when he shall come and pray toward this house, hear
thou O Lord in heaven thy dwelling place, and do according to all that the
stranger calls upon thee to do. That all people of the earth may know thy name
to fear thee as do thy people Israel; and that they may know that this house
which I have built, is called by thy name.
