Answer Details
This statement was made in the context of the dedication of Solomon's temple. In 1 Kings 8:12-13, Solomon acknowledges that the heavens and the highest heavens cannot contain God, but He has chosen to dwell in the temple built by human hands. He then declares that the Lord has set the sun in the heavens, but he will dwell in thick darkness, indicating that the glory of God's presence in the temple is so great that it cannot be fully comprehended or perceived by human beings.
