Matthew Poole and continuators on 1 Kings 8:39

39 Then hear thou in heaven thy dwellingplace, and forgive, and do, and give to every man according to his ways , whose heart thou knowest , (for thou, even thou onely knowest the hearts of all the children of men.)

According to his Repentance, or Impenitency. I pray with more hope and confidence, because I do not desire that thou wouldst deliver such as are insensible of thy Judgments, and their Sin; but onely those who truly know the Plague of their own Heart in manner before explained.

Thou knowest who are truly Penitent, and who are not; and therefore the granting of my Request will be no dishonour to thy Government, nor injury to thy Holy Nature.
