1 Kings 8:27 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

But will God indeed dwell on earth? Is it possible that the great and high and holy God, the infinite, the eternal, should stoop so low as to take up his dwelling among men? Behold the heaven, &c. All this vast space of the visible heaven; nay, the third and highest, therefore most extensive heaven, called, for its eminence and comprehensiveness, the heaven of heavens, cannot contain thee For thy essence reacheth far beyond them, being omnipresent. Much less this house Which, therefore, was not built as if it were proportionable to thy greatness, or could contain thee, but only that therein we might serve and glorify thee.
