## 1 Kings 8:41-43 in Context (Verses 38–46 KJV)
 
 [38 ](/kjv/1-kings/8/38) What prayer and supplication soever be *made* by any man, *or* by all thy people Israel, which shall know every man the plague of his own heart, and spread forth his hands toward this house:
 
 [39 ](/kjv/1-kings/8/39) Then hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place, and forgive, and do, and give to every man according to his ways, whose heart thou knowest; (for thou, *even* thou only, knowest the hearts of all the children of men;)
 
 [40 ](/kjv/1-kings/8/40) That they may fear thee all the days that they live in the land which thou gavest unto our fathers.
 
 [41 ](/kjv/1-kings/8/41) Moreover concerning a stranger, that *is* not of thy people Israel, but cometh out of a far country for thy name’s sake;
 
 [42 ](/kjv/1-kings/8/42) (For they shall hear of thy great name, and of thy strong hand, and of thy stretched out arm;) when he shall come and pray toward this house;
 
 [43 ](/kjv/1-kings/8/43) Hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place, and do according to all that the stranger calleth to thee for: that all people of the earth may know thy name, to fear thee, as *do* thy people Israel; and that they may know that this house, which I have builded, is called by thy name.*
 
 [44 ](/kjv/1-kings/8/44) ¶ If thy people go out to battle against their enemy, whithersoever thou shalt send them, and shall pray unto the LORD toward the city which thou hast chosen, and *toward* the house that I have built for thy name:*
 
 [45 ](/kjv/1-kings/8/45) Then hear thou in heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.*
 
 [46 ](/kjv/1-kings/8/46) If they sin against thee, (for *there is* no man that sinneth not,) and thou be angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captives unto the land of the enemy, far or near;
