2 Chronicles 2:5
"And the house which I build is great: for great is our God above all gods."

Commentary

Gill's Exposition

And the house which I build is great,.... Not so very large, though that, with all apartments and courts belonging to it, he intended to build, was so; but because

magnificent in its structure and decorations: for great is our God above all gods; and therefore ought to have a temple to exceed all others, as the temple at Jerusalem did.
