Context of 2 Chronicles 6:19

17Now, 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! But 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. 20Night and day may you watch over this temple, the place where you promised you would live. May you answer your servant’s prayer for this place. 21Respond to the requests of your servant and your people Israel for this place. Hear from your heavenly dwelling place and respond favorably and forgive.
