42 O LORD God, turn not away the face of thine anointed: remember the mercies of David thy servant.
Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David.
And now I ask one petition of thee, deny me not. And she said unto him, Say on.
The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,
My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him.
For thy servant David's sake turn not away the face of thine anointed.

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.
