# Connecting Statement:

King Solomon continues praying.

# Suppose they sin ... suppose that you are angry

Solomon speaks about events that he thinks could happen in the future. The situations he describes in verses 36-38 are conditions for what he requests verse 39.
# hand them over to the enemy

Here "hand them over to the enemy" represents allowing the enemy to capture them. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])

# so that the enemy carries them away

Here "carries them away" represents forcing them to leave their own country. Alternate translation: "so that the enemy forces them to leave" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-metaphor]])
