1 Kings 8:25-27
1599 Geneva Bible

26 And now, O God of Israel, I pray thee, let thy word be verified, which thou spakest unto thy servant David my father.
27 [a]Is it true indeed that God will dwell on the earth? behold, the heavens, and the heavens of heavens are not able to contain thee: how much more unable is this house that I have built?
