2 Chronicles 2:3-5

New American Standard Bible 1995

^3 (A)Then Solomon sent word to ^[a]Huram the king of Tyre, saying, “^(B)As you dealt with David my father and sent him cedars to build him a house to dwell in, so do for me. ⁴ Behold, I am about to build a house for the name of the Lord my God, dedicating it to Him, ^(C)to burn fragrant incense before Him and to set out ^(D)the showbread continually, and to offer ^(E)burnt offerings morning and evening, ^(F)on sabbaths and on new moons and on the appointed feasts of the Lord our God, this being required forever in Israel. ⁵ The house which I am about to build will be great, for ^(G)greater is our God than all the gods.
