1 Kings 8:44-46

International Children’s Bible

⁴⁴ “Sometimes you will command your people to go and fight against their enemies. Then your people will pray to you facing this city which you have chosen. They will pray facing the Temple I have built for your worship. ⁴⁵ When they pray, hear their prayers from your home in heaven. Then help them.

⁴⁶ “Everyone sins. So your people will also sin against you. And you will become angry with your people. You will let their enemies defeat them. Their enemies will make them prisoners and carry them away to their own countries.
