1 Reyes 8:38 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 8:38

What prayer and supplication soever
On account of any of the above things, or any other:

be [made] by any man, or by all the people Israel;
by a private man, for such an one might go to the temple and pray by himself; see ( Luke 18:10 Luke 18:11 ) or by the public congregation:

which shall know every man the plague of his own heart;
be sensible of his sin as the cause of his distress, and own it, though ever so privately committed, which none knows but God and his own heart; and which may be only an heart sin, not actually committed; as all sin is originally in the heart, and springs from it, that is the source of all wickedness; it may respect the corruption of nature, indwelling sin, which truly deserves this name, and which every good man is led to observe, confess, and bewail, ( Psalms 51:4 Psalms 51:5 ) . In ( 2 Chronicles 6:29 ) it is,

shall know his own sore and his own grief;
what particularly affects him, and gives him pain and sorrow, as every man best knows his own affliction and trouble, and so can best represent his own case to the Lord:

and spread forth his hands towards this house;
pray with his face towards it, and his hands spread out, a prayer gesture, and what was now used by Solomon, ( 1 Kings 8:22 ) .

1 Reyes 8:38 In-Context

36 escucha t煤 desde los cielos y perdona el pecado de tus siervos y de tu pueblo Israel; s铆, ens茅帽ales el buen camino por el que deben andar. Y env铆a lluvia sobre tu tierra, la que diste a tu pueblo por heredad.
37 Si hay hambre en la tierra, si hay pestilencia, si hay tiz贸n o a帽ublo, langosta o saltamontes, si su enemigo los sitia en la tierra de sus ciudades , cualquier plaga, cualquier enfermedad que haya,
38 toda oraci贸n o toda s煤plica que sea hecha por cualquier hombre o por todo tu pueblo Israel, conociendo cada cual la aflicci贸n de su coraz贸n, y extendiendo sus manos hacia esta casa,
39 escucha t煤 desde los cielos, el lugar de tu morada, y perdona, act煤a y da a cada uno conforme a todos sus caminos, ya que conoces su coraz贸n (porque s贸lo t煤 conoces el coraz贸n de todos los hijos de los hombres),
40 para que te teman todos los d铆as que vivan sobre la faz de la tierra que diste a nuestros padres.
