2 Chronicles 2:1-6

1And Solomon purposed to build a house for the name of Jehovah, and a house for his kingdom.

2And Solomon numbered seventy thousand men to bear burdens, and eighty thousand stone-masons in the mountain, and three thousand six hundred to superintend them.

3And Solomon sent to Huram king of Tyre, saying, As thou didst deal with David my father, and didst send him cedars to build him a house to dwell therein [so do for me].

4Behold, I build a house unto the name of Jehovah my 1God 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 2God. This is [an ordinance] for ever to Israel.

5And the house that I will build is great; for great is our 3God above all 4gods.

6But 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?
