2 Chronicles 2:1-6
112Now SolomonH8010 3decidedH559 to buildH1129 a houseH1004 for the nameH8034 of the LordH3068, and a 4royalH4438 palaceH1004 for himself. 25So 6SolomonH8010 7assignedH5608 seventyH7657 thousandH505 menH376 to carryH5449 loadsH5449, eightyH8084 thousandH505 menH376 to quarryH2672 stone in the mountainsH2022, and 3,600H7969H505H8337H3967 to superviseH5329 them.
38Then SolomonH8010 sentH7971 word to 9HuramH2361 the kingH4428 of TyreH6865, sayingH559, “10As you dealtH6213 with my fatherH1 DavidH1732 and sentH7971 him cedarsH730 to buildH1129 him a houseH1004 to liveH3427 in, do it 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, on newH2320 moonsH2320, and on the appointedH4150 feastsH4150 of the LordH3068 our GodH430. ThisH2088 is to be done in IsraelH3478 foreverH5769. 5The houseH1004 whichH834 I am about to buildH1129 will be greatH1419, for our GodH430 is 15greaterH1419 thanH4480 allH3605 the godsH430. 6But 16whoH4310 isH6113 ableH6113H3581 to buildH1129 a houseH1004 for Him, sinceH3588 the heavensH8064 and the highestH8064 heavensH8064 cannotH3808 containH3557 Him? And whoH4310 am I, that I should buildH1129 a houseH1004 for Him, exceptH3588H518 to 17burnH6999 incense beforeH6440 Him?
