Context of 2 Chronicles 6:17

15You have kept your word to your servant, my father David; this very day you have fulfilled what you promised. 16Now, O Lord God of Israel, keep the promise you made to your servant, my father David, when you said, ‘You will never fail to have a successor ruling before me on the throne of Israel, provided that your descendants watch their step and obey my law as you have done.’ Now, O Lord God of Israel, may the promise you made to your servant David be realized. 18“God does not really live with humankind on the earth! Look, if the sky and the highest heaven cannot contain you, how much less this temple I have built! 19But respond favorably to your servant’s prayer and his request for help, O Lord my God. Answer the desperate prayer your servant is presenting to you.
