2 Chronicles 6:16 In-Context

14 and said, "O LORD God of Israel, there is no God like Thee in the heaven nor in the earth, who keepest covenant and showest mercy unto Thy servants who walk before Thee with all their hearts--

15 Thou who hast kept with Thy servant David my father that which Thou hast promised him and spokest with Thy mouth, and hast fulfilled it with Thine hand, as it is this day.

16 Now therefore, O LORD God of Israel, keep with Thy servant David my father that which Thou hast promised him, saying, `There shall not fail thee a man in My sight to sit upon the throne of Israel; yet only that thy children take heed to their way, to walk in My law as thou hast walked before Me.'

17 Now then, O LORD God of Israel, let Thy word be verified, which Thou hast spoken unto Thy servant David.

18 "But will God in very deed dwell with men on the earth? Behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain Thee; how much less this house which I have built!
