Who Can Build for God?

Name Date

Read and Think

Solomon set out to build a house for Yahweh's name and a palace for himself. He gathered workers to carry loads and to cut stone in the hill country, with overseers to lead them. Then he sent to Huram king of Tyre, who had helped David.

Solomon explained his purpose. The house was for burning incense, setting out the show bread, and offering sacrifices, as God ordained for Israel forever. But who is able to build God a house, since heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain him?

Huram blessed Yahweh, the God of Israel, who made heaven and earth and gave David a wise son. He sent Huram-abi, skilled in metal, stone, wood, and fine cloth. The logs would float by sea to Joppa, and Solomon would carry them up to Jerusalem.
