1 Kings 8:25-27

International Children’s Bible

²⁵ Now Lord, God of Israel, keep the other promises you made to your servant David, my father. You said, ‘Your sons must be careful to obey me as you have obeyed me. If they do this, there will always be someone from your family ruling Israel.’ ²⁶ Again, Lord, God of Israel, I ask you. Please continue to keep that promise you made to my father.

²⁷ “But, God, can you really live here on the earth? Even the sky and the highest place in heaven cannot contain you. Certainly this house which I have built cannot contain you either.
