2 Chronicles 2:6-8

Lexham English Bible

⁶ Now who indeed has adequate strength to build a house for him? For the heavens and the highest heavens^[a] are not able to contain him. Now who am I that I would build a house for him, except to burn incense before him? ⁷ So then, send to me skilled men to work with gold, silver, bronze, and iron, and with purple, crimson, and blue fabric, knowledgeable in engraving, with the skilled men who are with me in Judah and in Jerusalem, whom David my father has established. ⁸ Send me trees of cedar, cypress, and algum from Lebanon, for I myself know that your servants are knowledgeable in cutting the trees of Lebanon. Now see, my servants will be with your servants
