“It was before he concluded to speak” – Rabbi Shimon ben Yoḥai taught: There are three people who were answered [in their prayers] as soon as they spoke: Abraham’s servant Eliezer, Moses, and Solomon. Eliezer – “it was before he concluded to speak, and behold, Rebecca was coming out.” Moses, as it is written: “It was, as he concluded to speak all these words, the ground that was beneath them split” (Numbers 16:31). Solomon, as it is written: “When Solomon had concluded praying [to the Lord], fire descended from the heavens…” (II Chronicles 7:1).
