'Pray' in the Bible

Now the people of Bethel had sent Sharezer and Regem-melech and their men to seek the favor of the Lord,

The inhabitants of one [city] will go to another, saying, “Let us go at once to ask the favor of the Lord and to seek the Lord of hosts. I will go also.”

So many peoples and powerful nations will come to seek the Lord of hosts in Jerusalem and to ask the Lord for His favor.’
