1 Kings

1 Kings 8:41–43

⁴¹And as for the foreigner who is not of Your people Israel but has come from a distant land because of Your name— ⁴²for they will hear of Your great name and mighty hand and outstretched arm— when he comes and prays toward this temple, ⁴³then may You hear from heaven, Your dwelling place, and do according to all for which the foreigner calls to You. Then all the peoples of the earth will know Your name and fear You, as do Your people Israel, and they will know that this house I have built is called by Your Name.
