2Ch 6:24-25
2Ch 6:24-25
“And if thy people Israel be smitten down before the enemy, because they have sinned against thee, and shall turn again, and confess thy name, and pray and make supplication before thee in this house; then hear thou from heaven, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them again unto the land which thou gavest to them and to their fathers.”
A prayer that even after sin and defeat Israel may find forgiveness if they repent, confess, and pray:
E.M. Zerr:
2Ch 6:24-25. The same idea about forgiveness at the time of prayer is expressed in this paragraph. The specific condition on which the favor is to be granted is that the people return and confess.
