    King Solomon recognized the greatness of God and prayed humbly as God's servant, asking for forgiveness for himself and his people. Solomon prayed in line with God's direction, as David had prayed according to God's promise. The prayers God hears are earnest, persistent, and from those acting righteously, as God searches human hearts. God does not hear prayers from those acting in a way that offends him.
