We read: “Solomon began standing before the altar of Jehovah... and he now spread his palms out to the heavens; and he went on to say: ‘ O Jehovah the God of Israel, there is no God like you... and may you yourself hear at the place of your dwelling, in the heavens, and you must hear and forgive. ’ ”
ויאמר: ’ יהוה אלוהי ישראל, אין כמוך אלוהים... ואתה תשמע אל מקום שבתך אל השמיים ושמעת וסלחת ’ ” (‏ מלכים א ’. ח ’: 22, 23 ,‏ 30‏).
