Solomon prayed to God: “Whatever prayer, whatever request for favor there may occur on the part of any man or of all your people Israel, because they know each one his own plague and his own pain; when he actually spreads out his palms toward this house, then may you yourself hear from the heavens, the place of your dwelling, and you must forgive and give to each one according to all his ways, because you know his heart (for you yourself alone well know the heart of the sons of mankind). ” ​ — 2 Chronicles 6: 29, 30.
Ta palvetas: „Igat palvet, igat anumist, mis iganes tuleb mõne inimese või kogu su Iisraeli rahva poolt, kui nad igaüks tunnevad oma häda ja valu ja sirutavad oma käed selle koja poole, kuule sina siis taevast, oma asupaigast, ja anna andeks ning anna igaühele kõiki ta tegusid mööda, nõnda nagu sa tunned tema südant, sest sina üksi tunned inimlaste südant ”.
