2 Chronicles 2:4-6

English Standard Version

⁴ Behold, I am about to build a house for the name of the Lord my God and dedicate it to him for the burning of ^(A)incense of sweet spices before him, and for ^(B)the regular arrangement of the showbread, and for ^(C)burnt offerings morning and evening, ^(D)on the Sabbaths and the new moons and the appointed feasts of the Lord our God, as ordained forever for Israel. ⁵ The house that I am to build will be great, ^(E)for our God is greater than all gods. ^6 (F)But who is able to build him a house, since ^(G)heaven, even highest heaven, cannot contain him? Who am I to build a house for him, except as a place to make offerings before him?
