1 KINGS—NOTE ON 1 Kings 8:46 carried away captive. The seventh petition returns to defeat and exile, the major concern of the prayer. In exile, if the people should repent and pray toward land, city, and temple (v. 1 Kings 8:48; see Daniel 6:10 for the practice), then God is asked to take them back once more as his people and maintain their cause (1 Kings 8:49; see v. 1 Kings 8:45).
