Solomon blesses the congregation and recounts God’s fulfillment of the promise to David. He then kneels before the altar and prays, confessing that heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain God, much less the temple. He asks God to hear prayers made toward this place in situations involving sin, defeat, drought, famine, foreign worshipers, war, and exile. He closes by appealing for God to remember his covenant mercies to David.
