2 Chronicles 20:7-9

Revised Geneva Translation

⁷ “Did not You, our God, cast out the inhabitants of this land before Your people Israel and give it to the seed of Abraham, Your friend, forever?

⁸ “And they dwelt in it, and have built You a Sanctuary in it for Your Name, saying,

⁹ ‘if misery comes upon us as the sword of judgment, or pestilence, or famine, we will stand before this House, and in Your presence (for Your Name is in this House), and will cry to You in our tribulation. And You will hear and help.’
