2 Chronicles 6:16-18

Common English Bible

¹⁶ So now, Lord God of Israel, 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 according to my Instruction, just as you have walked before me.” ¹⁷ So now, Lord God of Israel, may your promise to your servant David come true.

¹⁸ But how could God possibly live on earth with people? If heaven, even the highest heaven, can’t contain you, how can this temple that I have built contain you?
