1 Kings 8:25-27

English Standard Version

²⁵ Now therefore, O Lord, God of Israel, keep for your servant David my father what you have promised him, saying, ^(A)‘You shall not lack a man to sit before me on the throne of Israel, if only your sons pay close attention to their way, to walk before me as you have walked before me.’ ^26 (B)Now therefore, O God of Israel, let your word be confirmed, which you have spoken to your servant David my father.

²⁷ “But will God indeed dwell on the earth? Behold, ^(C)heaven and the highest heaven cannot contain you; how much less this house that I have built!
