“‘If evil comes on us — the sword, judgment, pestilence, or famine — we will stand before this house, and before you (for your name is in this house), and cry to you in our affliction, and you will hear and save.’”
2 Chronicles 20:9 (WEB)
Context Reading
7Didn’t you, our God, drive out the inhabitants of this land before your people Israel, and give it to the offspringof Abraham your friend forever? 8They lived in it, and have built you a sanctuary in it for your name, saying, 9‘If evil comes on us — the sword, judgment, pestilence, or famine — we will stand before this house, and before you (for your name is in this house), and cry to you in our affliction, and you will hear and save.’ 10Now, behold, the children of Ammon and Moab and Mount Seir, whom you would not let Israel invade when they came out of the land of Egypt, but they turned away from them, and didn’t destroy them; 11behold, how they reward us, to come to cast us out of your possession, which you have given us to inherit.
