1Ki 5:1 And Hiram the king of Tyre sent his servants to Solomon, for he heard that they had anointed him king instead of his father. For Hiram was a lover of David all his days.
\n1Ki 5:2 And Solomon sent to Hiram, saying,
\n1Ki 5:3 You knew my father David, that he was not able to build a house to the name of Jehovah his God because of the wars that were all around him, until Jehovah had put them under the soles of his feet.
\n1Ki 5:4 And now Jehovah my God has given me rest all around; there is no adversary nor evil happening.
\n1Ki 5:5 And, behold, I am commanding a house to be built to the name of Jehovah my God, as Jehovah spoke to my father David, saying, Your son whom I will appoint in your place on your throne, he shall build the house for My name.
\n1Ki 5:6 And now, command and they shall cut down for me cedars out of Lebanon. And my servants shall be with your servants. And I will give you hire for your servants according to all that you say. For you know that there is not a man among us knowing to cut timber like the Sidonians.
\n1Ki 5:7 And it happened, when Hiram heard the words of Solomon, he rejoiced exceedingly, and said, Blessed be Jehovah today, who has given to David a wise son over this great people.
\n1Ki 5:8 And Hiram sent to Solomon, saying, I have heard that for which you have sent to me. I will do all your will as to cedar wood and fir wood.
\n1Ki 5:9 My servants will bring it down from Lebanon to the sea. And I will make floats for them in the sea to go to the place that you tell me. And I will spread them out there; and you shall take them up. And you shall do what I desire, to give food for my house.
\n1Ki 5:10 And Hiram gave Solomon cedar trees and fir trees, all his desire.
\n1Ki 5:11 And Solomon gave to Hiram twenty thousand measures of wheat, food for his house; and twenty measures of beaten oil. This Solomon gave to Hiram year by year.
\n1Ki 5:12 And Jehovah gave wisdom to Solomon, as He had spoken to him. And there was peace between Hiram and Solomon; and they cut a covenant, the two of them.
\n1Ki 5:13 And King Solomon caused a labor force to go out of all Israel; and the labor force was thirty thousand men.
\n1Ki 5:14 And he sent them to Lebanon, ten thousand a month by courses. They were a month in Lebanon, two months in their own house. And Adoniram was over the labor force.
\n1Ki 5:15 And Solomon had seventy thousand bearing burdens, and eighty thousand hewing in the mountain;
\n1Ki 5:16 besides the rulers of Solomon’s overseers who were over the work, three thousand and three hundred, those ruling over the people who were working in the work.
\n1Ki 5:17 And the king commanded, and they brought great stones, costly stones, quarried stones, to lay the foundation of the house.
\n1Ki 5:18 And Solomon’s builders and Hiram’s builders, and the Giblites, cut and prepared the wood and the stones to build the house.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
