1 Kings 8:33-36

1 Kings 8:33-36

[33] When thy people  Israel  be smitten down  before  the enemy,  because they have sinned  against thee, and shall turn again  to thee, and confess  thy name,  and pray,  and make supplication  unto thee in this house:  [34] Then hear  thou in heaven,  and forgive  the sin  of thy people  Israel,  and bring them again  unto the land  which thou gavest  unto their fathers.  [35] When heaven  is shut up,  and there is no rain,  because they have sinned  against thee; if they pray  toward this place,  and confess  thy name,  and turn  from their sin,  when thou afflictest  them: [36] Then hear  thou in heaven,  and forgive  the sin  of thy servants,  and of thy people  Israel,  that thou teach  them the good  way  and give  rain  upon thy land,  which thou hast given  to thy people  for an inheritance.
