Who prayed for a king in the Bible?So all the elders of Israel gathered together and came to Samuel at Ramah. They said to him, "You are old, and your sons do not walk in your ways; now appoint a king to lead us, such as all the other nations have." But when they said, "Give us a king to lead us," this displeased Samuel; so he prayed to the LORD.
What did Hezekiah pray for?Hezekiah had asked Isaiah, "What will be the sign that the LORD will heal me and that I will go up to the temple of the LORD on the third day from now?" Isaiah answered, "This is the LORD's sign to you that the LORD will do what he has promised: Shall the shadow go forward ten steps, or shall it go back ten steps?"
How did Jeremiah pray?Jeremiah is a confessing, complaining pray-er. His prayers reflect both the confession of God's presence in his life and the complaint or lament that God is for some reason not present, or at least that his presence is so sufficiently hid den or disguised that Jeremiah cannot discern it.
What did Jeremiah prophecy about?He prophesied of a time when Yahweh would make a covenant with Israel, superseding the old Mosaic Covenant; Yahweh would write his law upon the hearts of men (rather than on tables of stone), and all would know God directly and receive his forgiveness.
