But is come.And shall come.
For thy great names sake.Kings, for thy name sake (for they will hear of thy great name and thy mighty hand and thy stretched-out arm), and shall come and pray towards this house. So nearly the Syriac and Arabic here.

“Moreover concerning the foreigner, that is not of thy people Israel, when he shall come from a far country for thy great name’s sake, and thy mighty hand, and thine outstretched arm; when they shall come and pray toward this house: then hear thou from heaven, even from thy dwelling place, and do according to all that the foreigner calleth to thee for; that all the peoples of the earth may know thy name, and fear thee, as doth thy people Israel, and that they may know that this house which I have built is called by thy name.”
That non-Israelites also may be heard and blessed of God:
E.M. Zerr:
2Ch 6:32, 33. We generally think of people on the “outside” as not having any right to the institution of the Lord. But we again must remember that the Mosaic system was a combination of religion and civil government. It is always in order for aliens to participate in the benefits of our country. On that basis it was proper for the strangers (aliens) to participate in the privileges of the Israelite country.
