2 Chronicles 6:16-18

English Standard Version

¹⁶ Now therefore, O Lord, God of Israel, keep for your servant David my father what you have promised him, saying, ^(A)‘You shall not lack a man to sit before me on the throne of Israel, ^(B)if only your sons pay close attention to their way, to walk in my law as you have walked before me.’ ¹⁷ Now therefore, O Lord, God of Israel, let your word be confirmed, which you have spoken to your servant David.

¹⁸ “But will God indeed dwell with man on the earth? Behold, ^(C)heaven and the highest heaven cannot contain you, how much less this house that I have built!
