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