1 Kings 8:27

Solomon's Prayer To Yahweh

²⁶ And now, O God of Israel, I pray You, let Your Word be proved to be true, the Word which You spoke to Your servant David my father. ²⁷ But will God indeed dwell on the earth? Behold, the heavens and the heaven of heavens cannot contain You. How much less this house which I have built? ²⁸ Yet, O, Jehovah my God, You have turned toward the prayer of Your servant and to his request, to listen to the cry and to the prayer which Your servant prays before You today;

Highest Heavens
