Donald Trump read a passage from 2 Chronicles 7:11-22 in a week-long public Bible reading event this week called “America Reads the Bible”. It described God’s appearance to Solomon, when he promised: “If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land”. The verse has been adopted by conservative evangelical Christians as a call for citizens to repent and for God to bless the nation.
