2 Chronicles 6:40 In-Context

38 If in that land they truly and sincerely repent and pray to you as they face toward this land which you gave to our ancestors, this city which you have chosen, and this Temple which I have built for you,

39 then listen to their prayers. In your home in heaven hear them and be merciful to them and forgive all the sins of your people.

40 "Now, O my God, look on us and listen to the prayers offered in this place.

41 Rise up now, Lord God, and with the Covenant Box, the symbol of your power, enter the Temple and stay here forever. Bless your priests in all they do, and may all your people be happy because of your goodness to them.

42 Lord God, do not reject the king you have chosen. Remember the love you had for your servant David."
