2 Chronicles 2:4-6

Common English Bible

⁴ Now as his son^[a] I am about to build a temple in the name of the Lord my God. I will dedicate it to him to burn fragrant incense before him, to set out the bread that is regularly displayed, and to offer entirely burned offerings every morning and evening, on the sabbaths, the first of every month, and the festivals of the Lord our God, as Israel has been commanded to do forever. ⁵ The temple I am about to build must be magnificent, because our God is greater than all other gods. ⁶ But who is able to build such a temple when even the highest heaven can’t contain God? And who am I that I should build this temple for God, except as a place to burn incense in his presence?
