21 `And Thou hast hearkened unto the supplications of Thy servant, and of Thy people Israel, that they pray towards this place, and Thou dost hear from the place of Thy dwelling, from the heavens, and hast hearkened, and forgiven.
Is not God high `in' heaven? And see the summit of the stars, That they are high. And thou hast said, `What -- hath God known? Through thickness doth He judge? Thick clouds `are' a secret place to Him, And He doth not see;' And the circle of the heavens He walketh habitually,
Thou hast borne away the iniquity of Thy people, Thou hast covered all their sin. Selah. Thou hast gathered up all Thy wrath, Thou hast turned back 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.
