2 Chronicles 2:5-7
1599 Geneva Bible
5 And the house which I build, is great: for great is our God above all gods.
6 Who is he then that can be able to build him an house, when the heaven and the heaven of heavens can not contain him? who am I then that I should build him an house? but I do it to burn [a]incense before him.
7 Send me now therefore a cunning man that can work in gold, in silver, and in brass, and in iron, and in purple, and in [b]crimson and blue silk, and that can grave in graven work with the cunning men that are with me in Judah and in Jerusalem, whom David my father hath prepared.
