1. And Solomon[H8010] determined[H559] to build[H1129] a house[H1004] for the name[H8034] of the LORD,[H3068] and a house[H1004] for his kingdom.[H4438]

2. And Solomon[H8010] told out[H5608] threescore and ten[H7657] thousand[H505] men[H376] to bear burdens,[H5449] and fourscore[H8084] thousand[H505] [H376] to hew[H2672] in the mountain,[H2022] and three[H7969] thousand[H505] and six[H8337] hundred[H3967] to oversee[H5329] [H5921] them.

3. And Solomon[H8010] sent[H7971] to[H413] Huram[H2361] the king[H4428] of Tyre,[H6865] saying,[H559] As[H834] thou didst deal[H6213] with[H5973] David[H1732] my father,[H1] and didst send[H7971] him cedars[H730] to build[H1129] him a house[H1004] to dwell[H3427] therein, even so deal with me.

4. Behold,[H2009] I[H589] build[H1129] a house[H1004] to the name[H8034] of the LORD[H3068] my God,[H430] to dedicate[H6942] it to him, and to burn[H6999] before[H6440] him sweet[H5561] incense,[H7004] and for the continual[H8548] shewbread,[H4635] and for the burnt offerings[H5930] morning[H1242] and evening,[H6153] on the sabbaths,[H7676] and on the new moons,[H2320] and on the solemn feasts[H4150] of the LORD[H3068] our God.[H430] This[H2063] is an ordinance forever[H5769] to[H5921] Israel.[H3478]

5. And the house[H1004] which[H834] I[H589] build[H1129] is great:[H1419] for[H3588] great[H1419] is our God[H430] above all[H4480] [H3605] gods.[H430]

6. But who[H4310] is able[H6113] [H3581] to build[H1129] him a house,[H1004] seeing[H3588] the heaven[H8064] and heaven[H8064] of heavens[H8064] cannot[H3808] contain[H3557] him? who[H4310] am I[H589] then, that[H834] I should build[H1129] him a house,[H1004] save only[H3588] [H518] to burn sacrifice[H6999] before[H6440] him?

7. Send[H7971] me now[H6258] therefore a man[H376] cunning[H2450] to work[H6213] in gold,[H2091] and in silver,[H3701] and in brass,[H5178] and in iron,[H1270] and in purple,[H710] and crimson,[H3758] and blue,[H8504] and that can skill[H3045] to grave[H6605] [H6603] with[H5973] the cunning men[H2450] that[H834] are with[H5973] me in Judah[H3063] and in Jerusalem,[H3389] whom[H834] David[H1732] my father[H1] did provide.[H3559]

8. Send[H7971] me also cedar[H730] trees,[H6086] fir trees,[H1265] and algum trees,[H418] out of Lebanon:[H4480] [H3844] for[H3588] I[H589] know[H3045] that[H834] thy servants[H5650] can skill[H3045] to cut[H3772] timber[H6086] in Lebanon;[H3844] and, behold,[H2009] my servants[H5650] shall be with[H5973] thy servants,[H5650]

9. Even to prepare[H3559] me timber[H6086] in abundance:[H7230] for[H3588] the house[H1004] which[H834] I[H589] am about to build[H1129] shall be wonderful[H6381] great.[H1419]

10. And, behold,[H2009] I will give[H5414] to thy servants,[H5650] the hewers[H2404] that cut[H3772] timber,[H6086] twenty[H6242] thousand[H505] measures[H3734] of beaten[H4347] wheat,[H2406] and twenty[H6242] thousand[H505] measures[H3734] of barley,[H8184] and twenty[H6242] thousand[H505] baths[H1324] of wine,[H3196] and twenty[H6242] thousand[H505] baths[H1324] of oil.[H8081]

11. Then Huram[H2361] the king[H4428] of Tyre[H6865] answered[H559] in writing,[H3791] which he sent[H7971] to[H413] Solomon,[H8010] Because the LORD[H3068] hath loved[H160] [H853] his people,[H5971] he hath made[H5414] thee king[H4428] over[H5921] them.

12. Huram[H2361] said[H559] moreover, Blessed[H1288] be the LORD[H3068] God[H430] of Israel,[H3478] that[H834] made[H6213] [H853] heaven[H8064] and earth,[H776] who[H834] hath given[H5414] to David[H1732] the king[H4428] a wise[H2450] son,[H1121] endued[H3045] with prudence[H7922] and understanding,[H998] that[H834] might build[H1129] a house[H1004] for the LORD,[H3068] and a house[H1004] for his kingdom.[H4438]

13. And now[H6258] I have sent[H7971] a cunning[H2450] man,[H376] endued[H3045] with understanding,[H998] of Huram[H2361] my father's,[H1]

14. The son[H1121] of a woman[H802] of[H4480] the daughters[H1323] of Dan,[H1835] and his father[H1] was a man[H376] of Tyre,[H6876] skillful[H3045] to work[H6213] in gold,[H2091] and in silver,[H3701] in brass,[H5178] in iron,[H1270] in stone,[H68] and in timber,[H6086] in purple,[H713] in blue,[H8504] and in fine linen,[H948] and in crimson;[H3758] also to grave[H6605] any manner[H3605] of graving,[H6603] and to find out[H2803] every[H3605] device[H4284] which[H834] shall be put[H5414] to him, with[H5973] thy cunning men,[H2450] and with the cunning men[H2450] of my lord[H113] David[H1732] thy father.[H1]

15. Now[H6258] therefore the wheat,[H2406] and the barley,[H8184] the oil,[H8081] and the wine,[H3196] which[H834] my lord[H113] hath spoken[H559] of, let him send[H7971] unto his servants: [H5650]

16. And we[H587] will cut[H3772] wood[H6086] out of[H4480] Lebanon,[H3844] as much as thou[H3605] shalt need:[H6878] and we will bring[H935] it to thee in floats[H7513] by[H5921] sea[H3220] to Joppa;[H3305] and thou[H859] shalt carry it up[H5927] [H853] to Jerusalem.[H3389]

17. And Solomon[H8010] numbered[H5608] all[H3605] the strangers[H376] [H1616] that[H834] were in the land[H776] of Israel,[H3478] after[H310] the numbering[H5610] wherewith[H834] David[H1732] his father[H1] had numbered[H5608] them; and they were found[H4672] a hundred[H3967] and fifty[H2572] thousand[H505] and three[H7969] thousand[H505] and six[H8337] hundred.[H3967]

18. And he set[H6213] threescore and ten[H7657] thousand[H505] of[H4480] them to be bearers of burdens,[H5449] and fourscore[H8084] thousand[H505] to be hewers[H2672] in the mountain,[H2022] and three[H7969] thousand[H505] and six[H8337] hundred[H3967] overseers[H5329] to set[H5647] [H853] the people[H5971] a work.
