Melachim Alef 8:52 In-Context

50 And forgive Thy people that have sinned against Thee, and all their peysha’im wherein they have rebelled against Thee, and give them rachamim before them who carried them captive, that they may have rachamim on them;
51 For they are Thy people, and Thine nachalah, which Thou broughtest forth out of Mitzrayim, from the midst of the Kur HaBarzel (Furnace of Iron):
52 That Thine eyes may be open unto the techinnah of Thy eved, and unto the techinnah of Thy people Yisroel, to pay heed unto them in all that they call for unto Thee.
53 For Thou didst separate them from among all the peoples of HaAretz, to be Thine nachalah, as Thou spoke by the yad Moshe Thy Eved, when Thou broughtest Avoteinu out of Mitzrayim, Adonoi Hashem,
54 And it was so, that when Sh’lomo had completed davening all this tefillah and techinnah unto Hashem, he arose from before the Mizbe’ach Hashem, from having knelt on his knees with his palms spread up to Shomayim.
