Context of 2 Chronicles 6:19

17“So now, Lord God of Israel, may the promise you made to David, your servant, come true. 18“Does God really live on earth with people? If heaven itself, the highest heaven, cannot hold you, then how can this temple that I have built? Nevertheless, my Lord God, please pay attention to my prayer for mercy. Listen to my cry for help as I pray to you. 20Day and night may your eyes be on this temple, the place about which you said your name will be there. Listen to me as I pray toward this place. 21Hear the plea for mercy that your people Israel and I pray toward this place. Hear us in heaven, the place where you live. Hear and forgive.
