# for your name
The word "name" is a metonym for the person, and "for ... name" refers to worshiping the person. See how you translated similar words in [1 Kings 3:2](../03/01.md). AT: "in which people will worship you" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-metonymy]])
# their prayer and their request
The words "prayer" and "request" mean basically the same thing and emphasize that the people are sincere as they make their request. See how you translated similar words in [1 Kings 8:28](./27.md). AT: "their request" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-doublet]])
