Darby Translation
2 Chronicles 2:4-6
Darby Translation
4 Behold, I build a house unto the name of Jehovah my God to dedicate it to him, to burn before him sweet incense, and for the continual arrangement [of the shewbread], and for the morning and evening burnt-offerings [and] on the sabbaths and on the new moons, and on the set feasts of Jehovah our God. This is [an ordinance] for ever to Israel.
5 And the house that I will build is great; for great is our God above all gods.
6 But who is able to build him a house, seeing the heavens and the heaven of heavens cannot contain him? And who am I that I should build him a house, except to burn sacrifice before him?

2 Chronicles 2:4-6
New International Version
4 Now I am about to build a temple(A) for the Name of the Lord my God and to dedicate it to him for burning fragrant incense(B) before him, for setting out the consecrated bread(C) regularly, and for making burnt offerings(D) every morning and evening and on the Sabbaths,(E) at the New Moons(F) and at the appointed festivals of the Lord our God. This is a lasting ordinance for Israel.
5 “The temple I am going to build will be great,(G) because our God is greater than all other gods.(H) 6 But who is able to build a temple for him, since the heavens, even the highest heavens, cannot contain him?(I) Who then am I(J) to build a temple for him, except as a place to burn sacrifices before him?
