2 Chronicles 6:16-18

Jubilee Bible 2000

¹⁶ Now, therefore, O LORD God of Israel, keep with thy slave David, my father, that which thou hast promised him, saying, There shall not fail thee a man in my sight to sit upon the throne of Israel, under the condition that thy sons keep their way, walking in my law, as thou hast walked before me.

¹⁷ Now then, O LORD God of Israel, let thy word stand firm, which thou hast spoken unto thy slave David.

¹⁸ Is it true that God is to dwell with men on the earth? Behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain thee, how much less this house which I have built!
