The verses around 2 Chronicles 7:14.
12And 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.
13If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people;
14If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
15Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attent unto the prayer that is made in this place.
16For now have I chosen and sanctified this house, that my name may be there for ever: and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually.
Verse explanation
This promise — if the people humble themselves, pray, and turn back, God will hear and heal the land — is God’s direct answer to Solomon’s dedication prayer in the previous chapter, addressed specifically to this temple and this people at that moment.
From the 2 Chronicles 7 study in Bible in Stories.
