1 Kings 8:44-46

Holman Christian Standard Bible

⁴⁴ When Your people go out to fight against their enemies,^[a]
wherever You send them,
and they pray to Yahweh
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—
