24. Who has kept with your servant David my father what you promised him: you spoke also with your mouth, and have fulfilled it with your hand, as it is this day.
25. Therefore now, LORD God of Israel, keep with your servant David my father that which you promised him, saying,
26. And now, O God of Israel, let your word, I pray you, be confirmed, which you spoke unto your servant David my father.
27. But will God indeed dwell on the earth? behold, the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain you; how much less this house that I have built?
28. Yet have you respect unto the prayer of your servant, and to his supplication, O LORD my God, to hearken unto the cry and to the prayer, which your servant prays before you today:
29. That your eyes may be open toward this house night and day, even toward the place of which you have said,
30. And hearken to the supplication of your servant, and of your people Israel, when they shall pray toward this place: and hear in heaven your dwelling place: and when you hear, forgive.
