21 And hearken unto the supplications of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, which they shall pray toward this place, and hear thou from thy dwelling-place, from the heavens, and when thou hearest, forgive.
Is not +God in the height of the heavens? And behold the summit of the stars: how exalted are they! And thou sayest, What doth ùGod know? will he judge through the dark cloud? Thick clouds are a covering to him, that he seeth not; and he walketh on the vault of the heavens.
Thou hast forgiven the iniquity of thy people; thou hast covered all their sin. Selah. Thou hast withdrawn all thy wrath; thou hast turned from the fierceness of thine anger.

INTRODUCTION TO 2 CHRONICLES 5 & 6
The words with which chapter five begins are the same with 1 Kings 7:51 and what is contained in that and chapter six is much the same with 1 Kings 8:1 on which see the notes; the blessing of Solomon on the people of Israel, which is there, is here omitted, and two verses are here added, much the same with Psalm 132:8.
