2 Chronicles 6:12-14

New Century Version

Solomon’s Prayer

¹² Then Solomon stood facing the Lord’s altar, and all the Israelites were standing behind him. He spread out his hands. ¹³ He had made a bronze platform seven and one-half feet long, seven and one-half feet wide, and seven and one-half feet high, and he had placed it in the middle of the outer courtyard. Solomon stood on the platform. Then he kneeled in front of all the people of Israel gathered there, and he spread out his hands toward the sky. ¹⁴ He said, “Lord, God of Israel, there is no god like you in heaven or on earth. You keep your agreement of love with your servants who truly follow you.
