Read 1 Kings 8.22-53
In 8.23-53: Solomon's prayer contains seven petitions, which address various future problems and ask the Lord to heed prayers made in and toward and the Temple.
Scholars debate whether this prayer or part of it comes before Exile or after it.
In verses 44-53 in particular, are often considered a later expansion of the prayer.
The idea behind the word heritage in v, 53 is that each nation has it own god and each god his own people,
The Lord's heritage is Israel.
