38Then SolomonH8010 sentH7971 word to 9HuramH2361 the kingH4428 of TyreH6865, sayingH559, “10As you dealtH6213 with DavidH1732 my fatherH1 and sentH7971 him cedarsH730 to buildH1129 him a houseH1004 to dwellH3427 in, so do for me. 4BeholdH2009, I am about to buildH1129 a houseH1004 for the nameH8034 of the LordH3068 my GodH430, dedicatingH6942 it to Him, 11to burnH6999 fragrantH5561 incenseH7004 beforeH6440 Him and to set out 12the showbreadH4635 continuallyH8548, and to offer 13burntH5930 offeringsH5930 morningH1242 and eveningH6153, 14on sabbathsH7676 and on newH2320 moonsH2320 and on the appointedH4150 feastsH4150 of the LordH3068 our GodH430, thisH2088 being required foreverH5769 in IsraelH3478. 5The houseH1004 whichH834 I am about to buildH1129 will be greatH1419, for 15greaterH1419 is our GodH430 thanH4480 allH3605 the godsH430. 6But 16whoH4310 is ableH6113H3581 to buildH1129 a houseH1004 for Him, for the heavensH8064 and the highestH8064 heavensH8064 cannotH3808 containH3557 Him? So whoH4310 am I, that I should buildH1129 a houseH1004 for Him, exceptH3588H518 to 17burnH6999 incense beforeH6440 Him?
