1 Kings 8:48-54 Jubilee Bible (JUB)

48. and so convert themselves unto thee with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their enemies, who led them away captive and pray unto thee toward their land, which thou didst give unto their fathers, toward the city which thou hast chosen and the house which I have built for thy name,

49. thou shalt hear in the heavens, in the habitation of thy dwelling place, their prayer and their supplication and do what is right unto them

50. and forgive thy people that have sinned against thee and all their rebellions by which they have rebelled against thee and cause those who carried them captive to have mercy on them,

51. for they are thy people and thy inheritance, which thou didst bring forth out of Egypt, from the midst of the iron furnace.

52. Let thine eyes be open unto the supplication of thy slave and unto the supplication of thy people Israel, to hearken unto them in all that they call for unto thee.

53. For thou didst separate them from among all the peoples of the earth, to be thy inheritance, as thou didst speak by the hand of Moses, thy slave, when thou didst bring our fathers out of Egypt, O Lord GOD.

54. And it was so, that when Solomon had made an end of praying all this prayer and supplication unto the Lord he arose from before the altar of the Lord, from kneeling on his knees with his hands extended toward heaven.
