Correct.

According to Vines:  The first occurrence of the word "palal" in the Old Testament is in Genesis 20:7, where the reflexive or reciprocal form of the verb expresses the idea of "interceding for, prayer in behalf of."

Before we go any further, let's look at the definition of these words we have looked at so far from the Merriam-Webster Dictionary:

Pray
Intreat (or entreat)	To negotiate.  To intercede.  To make an earnest request.  To plead.
Judge	To form an opinion about through careful weighing of evidence and testing of premises.
Make supplication	To ask humbly and earnestly of, or to ask for earnestly and humbly.
Intercede	To go or to intervene between parties with a view to reconciling

In the Old Testament there are many examples of the leaders and prophets of the people praying or interceding on behalf of the people.  Just a few examples are given below:

Examples of Prayer (Individuals interceding between God and man)
Scripture Reference	First Party	The One Praying (Interceding)	Second Party
Genesis 20:7	God	Abraham	Abimelech, King of Gerar
Exodus 34:9	God	Moses	Children of Israel (Israelites)
1 Samuel 7:5	God	Samuel	Children of Israel
Jeremiah 37:3	God	Jeremiah	Zedekiah, King of Judah
Job 42:8	God	Job	Job's Friends

There are also examples of individuals praying directly to God.  Usually these examples are leaders such as Abraham, Moses, the prophets, etc.  But there are many other examples of others, such as Hannah, the mother of Samuel:

Now it came about, as she (Hannah) continued praying before the LORD, that Eli was watching her mouth. As for Hannah, she was speaking in her heart, only her lips were moving, but her voice was not heard... 1 Samuel 1:12-13a (NAS)
