2 Chronicles 2:6
King James Version
“But who is able to build him an house, seeing the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain him? who I then, that I should build him an house, save only to burn sacrifice before him?”
Context
3And Solomon sent to Huram the king of Tyre, saying, As thou didst deal with David my father, and didst send him cedars to build him an house to dwell therein,
4Behold, I build an house to the name of the LORD my God, to dedicate to him, to burn before him sweet incense, and for the continual shewbread, and for the burnt offerings morning and evening, on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the solemn feasts of the LORD our God. This for ever to Israel.
5And the house which I build great: for great our God above all gods.
6But who is able to build him an house, seeing the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain him? who I then, that I should build him an house, save only to burn sacrifice before him?
7Send me now therefore a man cunning to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, and in iron, and in purple, and crimson, and blue, and that can skill to grave with the cunning men that with me in Judah and in Jerusalem, whom David my father did provide.
8Send me also cedar trees, fir trees, and algum trees, out of Lebanon: for I know that thy servants can skill to cut timber in Lebanon; and, behold, my servants with thy servants,
9Even to prepare me timber in abundance: for the house which I am about to build wonderful great.
