Listen to 1 Reyes 8:35
35 »Si los cielos se cierran y no hay lluvia porque tu pueblo ha pecado contra ti, y si luego ellos oran hacia este templo y reconocen tu nombre y se apartan de sus pecados, porque tú los has castigado,

1 Reyes 8:35 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 8:35

When heaven is shut up
As it may be said to be when the air is quite serene, and not a cloud in it:

and there is no rain;
in its season, neither the former nor the latter, as it was in the times of Elijah:

because they have sinned against thee;
want of rain was threatened in case of sin, and was always the effect of it, ( Leviticus 26:19 Leviticus 26:20 ) ( Deuteronomy 28:23 Deuteronomy 28:24 ) ,

if they pray towards this place;
in any part of the country where they were; for it sometimes rained on one city, and not on another, ( Amos 4:7 )

and confess thy name;
own his power and his providence, and the justness of his dealings with them:

and turn from their sin, when thou afflictest them;
their affliction being made useful, to bring them to a sense of their sin, and to repentance for it, and reformation from it; or, "when thou hearest" or "answerest them" F7; so the Targum, receives their prayer; thus the goodness of God leads to repentance.

1 Reyes 8:35 In-Context

33 »Si tu pueblo Israel cae derrotado ante sus enemigos por haber pecado contra ti, pero luego vuelve a ti y reconoce tu nombre y eleva oraciones a ti en este templo,
34 oye entonces desde el cielo y perdona el pecado de tu pueblo Israel, y hazlo volver a esta tierra que diste a sus antepasados.
35 »Si los cielos se cierran y no hay lluvia porque tu pueblo ha pecado contra ti, y si luego ellos oran hacia este templo y reconocen tu nombre y se apartan de sus pecados, porque tú los has castigado,
36 oye entonces desde el cielo y perdona los pecados de tus siervos, tu pueblo Israel. Enséñales a seguir el camino correcto y envía lluvia sobre tu tierra, la tierra que diste a tu pueblo como su preciada posesión.
37 »Si hay hambre en la tierra, o pestes, o plagas en los cultivos, o ataques de langostas u orugas, o si los enemigos de tu pueblo invaden el territorio y sitian las ciudades —cualquiera sea el desastre o la enfermedad que ocurra—;
