1 Kings / Question
Question source
1 Kings
Solomon prayed that when a foreigner came and prayed toward the house because of the LORD’s name, God would hear from heaven and do according to what the foreigner called for (1 Kings 8:41-43). He said the purpose was that all people of the earth may know God’s name and fear God like Israel (1 Kings 8:43).
41Moreover concerning the foreigner, who is not of your people Israel, when he shall come out of a far country for your name`s sake
42(for they shall hear of your great name, and of your mighty hand, and of your outstretched arm); when he shall come and pray toward this house;
43hear in heaven, your dwelling-place, and do according to all that the foreigner calls to you for; that all the peoples of the earth may know your name, to fear you, as does your people Israel, and that they may know that this house which I have built is called by my name.
