'Listening' in the Bible

Give to your servant a listening heart to judge your people, to discern between good and bad, because who is able to judge this, your difficult people?"

May Your eyes be open to Your servant’s petitionand to the petition of Your people Israel,listening to them whenever they call to You.

When all of Israel saw that the king wasn't listening to them, the people responded to the king's message, "What's the point in following David? We have no inheritance in the descendants of Jesse. Let's go home, Israel! David, take care of your own household!' So Israel left for home.
