Anglican
SCRIPTURE

"Moreover concerning the foreigner, that is not of thy people Israel, when he shall come from a far country for thy great name`s sake, and thy mighty hand, and thine outstretched arm; when they shall come and pray toward this house:" — 2 Chronicles 6:32 (ASV)

Moreover concerning the stranger. —In these verses, 1 Kings 8:41–42, are run together, probably by an error of transcription.

But is come.And shall come.

For thy great name’s sake. —Kings, for thy name sake (for they will hear of thy great name and thy mighty hand and thy stretched-out arm), and shall come and pray towards this house. So nearly the Syriac and Arabic here.
