1. And Hiram[H2438] king[H4428] of Tyre[H6865] sent[H7971] [H853] his servants[H5650] unto[H413] Solomon;[H8010] for[H3588] he had heard[H8085] that[H3588] they had anointed[H4886] him king[H4428] in the room[H8478] of his father:[H1] for[H3588] Hiram[H2438] was[H1961] ever[H3605] [H3117] a lover[H157] of David.[H1732]

2. And Solomon[H8010] sent[H7971] to[H413] Hiram,[H2438] saying,[H559]

3. Thou[H859] knowest[H3045] how that[H3588] [H853] David[H1732] my father[H1] could[H3201] not[H3808] build[H1129] a house[H1004] unto the name[H8034] of the LORD[H3068] his God[H430] for[H4480] [H6440] the wars[H4421] which[H834] were about him on every side,[H5437] until[H5704] the LORD[H3068] put[H5414] them under[H8478] the soles[H3709] of his feet.[H7272]

4. But now[H6258] the LORD[H3068] my God[H430] hath given me rest[H5117] on every side,[H4480] [H5439] so that there is neither[H369] adversary[H7854] nor[H369] evil[H7451] occurrent.[H6294]

5. And, behold,[H2009] I purpose[H559] to build[H1129] a house[H1004] unto the name[H8034] of the LORD[H3068] my God,[H430] as[H834] the LORD[H3068] spoke[H1696] unto[H413] David[H1732] my father,[H1] saying,[H559] Thy son,[H1121] whom[H834] I will set[H5414] upon[H5921] thy throne[H3678] in thy room,[H8478] he[H1931] shall build[H1129] a house[H1004] unto my name.[H8034]

6. Now[H6258] therefore command[H6680] thou that they hew[H3772] me cedar trees[H730] out of[H4480] Lebanon;[H3844] and my servants[H5650] shall be[H1961] with[H5973] thy servants:[H5650] and unto thee will I give[H5414] hire[H7939] for thy servants[H5650] according to all[H3605] that[H834] thou shalt appoint:[H559] for[H3588] thou[H859] knowest[H3045] that[H3588] there is not[H369] among us any[H376] that can skill[H3045] to hew[H3772] timber[H6086] like unto the Sidonians.[H6722]

7. And it came to pass,[H1961] when Hiram[H2438] heard[H8085] [H853] the words[H1697] of Solomon,[H8010] that he rejoiced[H8055] greatly,[H3966] and said,[H559] Blessed[H1288] be the LORD[H3068] this day,[H3117] which[H834] hath given[H5414] unto David[H1732] a wise[H2450] son[H1121] over[H5921] this[H2088] great[H7227] people.[H5971]

8. And Hiram[H2438] sent[H7971] to[H413] Solomon,[H8010] saying,[H559] I have considered[H8085] [H853] the things which[H834] thou sentest[H7971] to[H413] me for: and I[H589] will do[H6213] [H853] all[H3605] thy desire[H2656] concerning timber[H6086] of cedar,[H730] and concerning timber[H6086] of fir.[H1265]

9. My servants[H5650] shall bring them down[H3381] from[H4480] Lebanon[H3844] unto the sea:[H3220] and I[H589] will convey[H7760] them by sea[H3220] in floats[H1702] unto[H5704] the place[H4725] that[H834] thou shalt appoint[H7971] [H413] me, and will cause them to be discharged[H5310] there,[H8033] and thou[H859] shalt receive[H5375] them: and thou[H859] shalt accomplish[H6213] [H853] my desire,[H2656] in giving[H5414] food[H3899] for my household.[H1004]

10. So Hiram[H2438] gave[H5414] Solomon[H8010] cedar[H730] trees[H6086] and fir[H1265] trees[H6086] according to all[H3605] his desire.[H2656]

11. And Solomon[H8010] gave[H5414] Hiram[H2438] twenty[H6242] thousand[H505] measures[H3734] of wheat[H2406] for food[H4361] to his household,[H1004] and twenty[H6242] measures[H3734] of pure[H3795] oil:[H8081] thus[H3541] gave[H5414] Solomon[H8010] to Hiram[H2438] year[H8141] by year.[H8141]

12. And the LORD[H3068] gave[H5414] Solomon[H8010] wisdom,[H2451] as[H834] he promised[H1696] him: and there was[H1961] peace[H7965] between[H996] Hiram[H2438] and Solomon;[H8010] and they two[H8147] made a league together.[H3772] [H1285]

13. And king[H4428] Solomon[H8010] raised[H5927] a levy[H4522] out of all[H4480] [H3605] Israel;[H3478] and the levy[H4522] was[H1961] thirty[H7970] thousand[H505] men.[H376]

14. And he sent[H7971] them to Lebanon,[H3844] ten[H6235] thousand[H505] a month[H2320] by courses:[H2487] a month[H2320] they were[H1961] in Lebanon,[H3844] and two[H8147] months[H2320] at home:[H1004] and Adoniram[H141] was over[H5921] the levy.[H4522]

15. And Solomon[H8010] had[H1961] threescore and ten[H7657] thousand[H505] that bore[H5375] burdens,[H5449] and fourscore[H8084] thousand[H505] hewers[H2672] in the mountains;[H2022]

16. Beside the chief[H905] [H4480] [H8269] of Solomon's[H8010] officers[H5324] which[H834] were over[H5921] the work,[H4399] three[H7969] thousand[H505] and three[H7969] hundred,[H3967] which ruled[H7287] over the people[H5971] that wrought[H6213] in the work.[H4399]

17. And the king[H4428] commanded,[H6680] and they brought[H5265] great[H1419] stones,[H68] costly[H3368] stones,[H68] and hewed[H1496] stones,[H68] to lay the foundation[H3245] of the house.[H1004]

18. And Solomon's[H8010] builders[H1129] and Hiram's[H2438] builders[H1129] did hew[H6458] them, and the stonesquarers:[H1382] so they prepared[H3559] timber[H6086] and stones[H68] to build[H1129] the house.[H1004]
