Verse 28 is found in chapter 8 of 1 Kings. Solomon prays before the altar and remembers the covenant with David. He asks God to hear prayers directed toward this place.

Wende dich aber zum Gebet deines Knechtes und zu seinem Flehen, HERR, mein Gott, auf daß du hörest das Lob und Gebet, das dein Knecht heute vor dir tut;
Con todo, tú atenderás a la oración de tu siervo, y a su plegaria, oh Jehová Dios mío, oyendo propicio el clamor y oración que tu siervo hace hoy delante de ti:
Atiende a la oración de tu servidor y a su súplica, Jehová, Dios mío. Escucha el clamor y la oración que tu servidor presenta hoy delante de ti.
Toutefois, Eternel, mon Dieu, sois attentif à la prière de ton serviteur et à sa supplication; écoute le cri et la prière que t'adresse aujourd'hui ton serviteur.
Tuttavolta, o Signore Iddio mio, riguarda all’orazione del tuo servitore, ed alla sua supplicazione, per ascoltare il grido, e l’orazione la quale il tuo servitore fa oggi nel tuo cospetto;
Volve-te, pois, para a oração de teu servo, e para a sua súplica, ó SENHOR meu Deus, para ouvires o clamor e a oração que o teu servo hoje faz diante de ti.
惟求耶和華-我的上帝垂顧僕人的禱告祈求,俯聽僕人今日在你面前的祈禱呼求。
