1 Kings 8:13

8:13 O Lord, ¹  truly I have built a lofty temple for you, a place where you can live permanently.”

1 Kings 8:29

8:29 Night and day may you watch over this temple, the place where you promised you would live. ²  May you answer your servant’s prayer for this place. ³ 

[8:13]  ¹ tn The words “O Lord” do not appear in the original text, but they are supplied for clarification; Solomon addresses the Lord in prayer at this point.

[8:29]  ² tn Heb “so your eyes might be open toward this house night and day, toward the place about which you said, ‘My name will be there.’”

[8:29]  ³ tn Heb “by listening to the prayer which your servant is praying concerning this place.”
