Solomon’s Prayer

^12-13 Solomon had made a bronze platform and placed it in the middle of the outer courtyard. The platform was 5 cubits^[a] long, 5 cubits wide, and 3 cubits^[b] tall. Solomon stood on the platform and faced the Lord’s altar. In front of all the Israelites who were gathered together, Solomon kneeled, spread his hands out toward heaven, ¹⁴ and said,

“Lord, God of Israel, there is no god like you in heaven or on earth. You keep the agreement that you made with your people. You are kind and loyal to those who follow you with all their heart.
