Verse 13 is found in chapter 8 of 1 Kings. Solomon acknowledges that the Lord dwells in inaccessible darkness and declares that he has built a house for God’s name. He then explains that the temple fulfills a promise related to David. The king distinguishes between God’s greatness and the building he has erected: the temple serves the divine name, but it cannot contain the fullness of God’s presence.
