THE DIRECT CONNECTION WHICH IS POINTED OUT BETWEEN THE VISITATION OF THE PESTILENCE AND A PEOPLE'S IMPIETY AS THE PROVOCATION WHICH HAS CAUSED IT. III. THOUGH PESTILENCE BE OF GOD'S SENDING, YET WILL HE BE ENTREATED FOR ITS REMOVAL (Robert Bickersteth, M.A.) Parallel Verses KJV: And the LORD appeared to Solomon by night, and said unto him, I have heard thy prayer, and have chosen this place to myself for an house of sacrifice. |
