2 Chronicles 2:3-7

3And Solomon sent to Huram the king of Tyre, saying, As thou didst deal with David my father, and didst send him cedars to buildH1129 him a houseH1004 to dwell therein, even so deal with me.

4Behold, I am about to buildH1129 a houseH1004 for the name of Jehovah my GodH430, to dedicate it to him, and to burn before him incense of sweet spices, and for the continual showbread, and for the burnt-offerings morning and evening, on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the set feasts of Jehovah our GodH430. This is an ordinance for ever to Israel.

5And the houseH1004 which I buildH1129 is great; for great is our God above all gods.

6But who is able to build him a house, seeing heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain him? who am I then, that I should build him a house, save only to burn incense before him?

7Now therefore sendH7971 me a man skilful to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, and in iron, and in purple, and crimson, and blue, and that knoweth how to grave all manner of gravings, to be with the skilful men that are with me in Judah and in Jerusalem, whom David my father did provide.
