Solomon prayed to God: “Whatever prayer, whatever request for favor there may occur on the part of any man or of all your people Israel, because they know each one his own plague and his own pain; when he actually spreads out his palms toward this house, then may you yourself hear from the heavens, the place of your dwelling, and you must forgive and give to each one according to all his ways, because you know his heart (for you yourself alone well know the heart of the sons of mankind). ” ​ — 2 Chronicles 6: 29, 30.
Salamans lūdza: ” Kas tad lūgs, kas no visas sirds piesauks, vai nu tas notiktu no viena vienīga cilvēka, vai no visas tavas tautas, Israēla, puses, kad viņi ikviens atzīsies savā sirdsapziņā, būs nožēlas pārņemti savās mokās un bēdās un izstieps savas rokas šinī namā, tad uzklausi viņus no debesīm, no savas drošās mājvietas, un piedod un piešķir ikvienam to, ko tas ir pelnījis, tāpēc ka Tu pazīsti viņu sirdi, jo Tu esi vienīgais, kas pazīst cilvēku bērnu sirdis. ”
