2 Chronicles / Question
Question source
2 Chronicles
Solomon prayed that when a foreigner came and prayed toward the temple, God would hear from heaven and do according to what the foreigner asked. The purpose stated is that all peoples of the earth may know God’s name and fear him, as Israel does (2 Chronicles 6:32-33).
32Moreover concerning the foreigner, who is not of your people Israel, when he shall come from a far country for your great name`s sake, and your mighty hand, and your outstretched arm; when they shall come and pray toward this house:
33then hear from heaven, even from 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, and fear you, as does your people Israel, and that they may know that this house which I have built is called by your name.
