1 Kings8:49

49 Then hear thou their prayer, and their supplication in heaven thy dwelling-place, and maintain their cause .

Heb. their right, against their Invaders and Oppressors. For they had forfeited all their Rights to God onely, but not to their Enemies; whom though God used as scourges to chastise his Peoples Sins, yet they had no pretence of Right to their Land, nor any regard to it; but onely minded the satisfaction of their own Lusts and Interests. See Isa. 10. 5, 6. and 47. 6. Zech. 1. 15.

Marginal references: Or, right Heb. judgment▪
