2 Chronicles 2:6

John Gill's Exposition of the Entire Bible · John Gill (1697–1771) · Public Domain

But who is able to build him an house,.... Suitable to the greatness of his majesty, especially as he dwells not in temples made with hands:seeing the heaven, and heaven of heavens, cannot contain him?

see 1Ki 8:27,who am I then, that I should build him an house, save only to burn sacrifice before him?
