1 Kings 8:32

Then hear thou in heaven ,.... When the injured person makes supplication to have justice done him:

and do, and judge thy servants ; contending with one another, the one affirming, the other denying

condemning the wicked, by bringing his way upon his head : inflicting upon him the punishment imprecated by him in his oath:

and justifying the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness ; by making it appear that his cause is just.
