1 Kings 8:30 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Bible Comments

In heaven — Which he adds to direct them in their addresses to God in this temple, to lift up their eyes above it, even to heaven, where God's most true, and most glorious dwelling — place is. Forgive — The sins of thy people, praying, and even of their prayers; which, if not pardoned, will certainly hinder the success of all their prayers, and the course of all thy blessings.

1 Kings 8:30

30 And hearken thou to the supplication of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, when they shall pray toward this place:f and hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place: and when thou hearest, forgive.
