(Some words not found in UHB: that/for/because/then/when ?,indeed dwell ʼElohīm on/upon/above/on_account_of//he/it_went_in the=earth/land see/lo/see! the=heavens and,heaven the=heavens not contain,you also/though that/for/because/then/when the,house the=this which/who built )
Possible meanings of this question are: (1) Solomon is asking a real question and expecting an answer or (2) the question is rhetorical and Solomon is emphasizing that God is too big and mighty to live on earth. Alternate translation: “But it surely cannot be that God will actually live on the earth!”

Alternate translation: “you, so this temple that I have built certainly cannot contain you”
8:1-66 Solomon’s building activities climaxed with the Ark’s move to the newly erected Temple. The king offered both prayer (8:22-53) and words of praise and blessing (8:56-61) to dedicate the Temple for the Lord’s service. After the dedication, the assembled gathering enjoyed the great Festival of Shelters. The focus of the account is on Solomon praising God and blessing the people (8:12-61).
