Hands spread toward heaven

22Then Solomon stood before the altar of Yahweh in front of all the assembly of Israel and spread out his hands toward heaven.

23And he said, “O Yahweh, God of Israel, there is no God like you in heaven above or on earth beneath, keeping the covenant and the steadfast love for your servants who walk before you with all their heart.”

24who have kept for your servant David my father what you spoke to him; you spoke with your mouth, and with your hand you have fulfilled it, as it is this day.
