1 Kings8:35
35 ¶ When heaven is shut up , and there is no rain, because they have sinned against thee; if they pray towards this place, and confess thy Name, and turn from their sin, when thou afflictest them :
The lower Heaven in which the Clouds are; as Deut. 11. 17. Psal. 147. 8.
The Heaven is compared to a great Store-House in God's keeping, out of which nothing can be had, so long as it is close shut up.
Do not reject their Prayers, because they are forced from them by their Afflictions, as thou mayest justly do.
Marginal references: Lev. 26. 19. Deut. 28. 23.
