2 Chronicles 2:4 in Context — 2 Chronicles 2

2 E contou Salomão setenta mil homens que levassem cargas, e oitenta mil homens que cortassem no monte, e três mil e seiscentos que os governassem.

3 E enviou a dizer Salomão a Hirão rei de Tiro: Faze comigo como fizeste com Davi meu pai, enviando-lhe cedros para que edificasse para si casa em que morasse.

4 Eis aqui eu tenho que edificar casa ao nome do SENHOR meu Deus, para consagrá-la, para queimar perfumes aromáticos diante dele, e para a colocação contínua dos pães da proposição, e para holocaustos a manhã e tarde, e os sábados, e luas novas, e festividades do SENHOR nosso Deus; o qual será perpétuo em Israel.

5 E a casa que tenho que edificar, há de ser grande: porque o Deus nosso é grande sobre todos os deuses.

6 Mas quem será tão poderoso que lhe edifique casa? Os céus e os céus dos céus não lhe podem compreender; quem, pois, sou eu, que lhe edifique casa, a não ser para queimar perfumes diante dele?
