2 Chronicles 5:18

(See Gill on 2 Chronicles 5:1).

2 Chronicles 6:18 In-Context

16 Therefore, Lord God of Israel, keep what You promised to Your servant, my father David: You will never fail to have a man to sit before Me on the throne of Israel, if only your sons guard their way to walk in My Law as you have walked before Me.
17 Now, Lord God of Israel, please confirm what You promised to Your servant David.
18 But will God indeed live on earth with man? Even heaven, the highest heaven, cannot contain You, much less this temple I have built.
19 Listen to Your servant's prayer and his petition, Lord my God, so that You may hear the cry and the prayer that Your servant prays before You,
20 so that Your eyes watch over this temple day and night, toward the place where You said You would put Your name; and so that You may hear the prayer Your servant prays toward this place.
