Verse 16 is found in chapter 7 of 2 Chronicles. God appears again to Solomon and confirms that he has chosen the temple as a place of prayer. The promise to hear, forgive, and heal is connected with humility, prayer, seeking God, and turning away from evil ways. The passage also warns that unfaithfulness can lead to judgment and abandonment of the temple. The promise and warning form an inseparable unit.
