1 Kings 8:25-27

Common English Bible

²⁵ So now, Lord, Israel’s God, keep what you promised my father David, your servant, when you said to him, “You will never fail to have a successor sitting on Israel’s throne as long as your descendants carefully walk before me just as you walked before me.” ²⁶ So now, God of Israel, may your promise to your servant David, my father, come true.

²⁷ But how could God possibly live on earth? If heaven, even the highest heaven, can’t contain you, how can this temple that I’ve built contain you?
