1 Kings 8:42-43

8:42 When they hear about your great reputation ¹  and your ability to accomplish mighty deeds, ²  they will come and direct their prayers toward this temple. 8:43 Then listen from your heavenly dwelling place and answer all the prayers of the foreigners. ³  Then all the nations of the earth will acknowledge your reputation, ⁴  obey ⁵  you like your people Israel do, and recognize that this temple I built belongs to you. ⁶
