1 # And Solomon <08010> determined <0559> (8799) to build <01129> (8800) an house <01004> for the name <08034> of the LORD <03068>, and an house <01004> for his kingdom <04438>.
2 And Solomon <08010> told out <05608> (8799) threescore and ten <07657> thousand <0505> men <0376> to bear burdens <05449>, and fourscore <08084> thousand <0505> <0376> to hew <02672> (8802) in the mountain <02022> , and three <07969> thousand <0505> and six <08337> hundred <03967> to oversee <05329> (8764) them.
3 And Solomon <08010> sent <07971> (8799) to Huram <02361> the king <04428> of Tyre <06865>, saying <0559> (8800), As thou didst deal <06213> (8804) with David <01732> my father <01>, and didst send <07971> (8799) him cedars <0730> to build <01129> (8800) him an house <01004> to dwell <03427> (8800) therein, even so deal with me.
4 Behold, I build <01129> (8802) an house <01004> to the name <08034> of the LORD <03068> my God <0430> , to dedicate <06942> (8687) it to him, and to burn <06999> (8687) before <06440> him sweet <05561> incense <07004>, and for the continual <08548> shewbread <04635>, and for the burnt offerings <05930> morning <01242> and evening <06153> , on the sabbaths <07676>, and on the new moons <02320>, and on the solemn feasts <04150> of the LORD <03068> our God <0430>. This is an ordinance for ever <05769> to Israel <03478>.
5 And the house <01004> which I build <01129> (8802) is great <01419>: for great <01419> is our God <0430> above all gods <0430>.
6 But who is able <06113> (8799) <03581> to build <01129> (8800) him an house <01004>, seeing the heaven <08064> and heaven <08064> of heavens <08064> cannot contain <03557> (8770) him? who am I then, that I should build <01129> (8799) him an house <01004>, save only <0518> to burn sacrifice <06999> (8687) before <06440> him?
7 Send <07971> (8798) me now therefore a man <0376> cunning <02450> to work <06213> (8800) in gold <02091>, and in silver <03701>, and in brass <05178>, and in iron <01270>, and in purple <0710>, and crimson <03758>, and blue <08504>, and that can skill <03045> (8802) to grave <06605> (8763) <06603> with the cunning men <02450> that are with me in Judah <03063> and in Jerusalem <03389>, whom David <01732> my father <01> did provide <03559> (8689).
8 Send <07971> (8798) me also cedar <0730> trees <06086>, fir trees <01265>, and algum trees <0418> , out of Lebanon <03844>: for I know <03045> (8804) that thy servants <05650> can skill <03045> (8802) to cut <03772> (8800) timber <06086> in Lebanon <03844>; and, behold, my servants <05650> shall be with thy servants <05650>,
9 Even to prepare <03559> (8687) me timber <06086> in abundance <07230>: for the house <01004> which I am about to build <01129> (8802) shall be wonderful <06381> (8687) great <01419>.
10 And, behold, I will give <05414> (8804) to thy servants <05650>, the hewers <02404> (8802) that cut <03772> (8802) timber <06086>, twenty <06242> thousand <0505> measures <03734> of beaten <04347> wheat <02406> , and twenty <06242> thousand <0505> measures <03734> of barley <08184>, and twenty <06242> thousand <0505> baths <01324> of wine <03196>, and twenty <06242> thousand <0505> baths <01324> of oil <08081>.
11 # Then Huram <02361> the king <04428> of Tyre <06865> answered <0559> (8799) in writing <03791>, which he sent <07971> (8799) to Solomon <08010>, Because the LORD <03068> hath loved <0160> his people <05971>, he hath made <05414> (8804) thee king <04428> over them.
12 Huram <02361> said <0559> (8799) moreover, Blessed <01288> (8803) be the LORD <03068> God <0430> of Israel <03478>, that made <06213> (8804) heaven <08064> and earth <0776>, who hath given <05414> (8804) to David <01732> the king <04428> a wise <02450> son <01121>, endued <03045> (8802) with prudence <07922> and understanding <0998>, that might build <01129> (8799) an house <01004> for the LORD <03068>, and an house <01004> for his kingdom <04438>.
13 And now I have sent <07971> (8804) a cunning <02450> man <0376>, endued <03045> (8802) with understanding <0998>, of Huram <02361> my father's <01>,
14 The son <01121> of a woman <0802> of the daughters <01323> of Dan <01835>, and his father <01> was a man <0376> of Tyre <06876>, skilful <03045> (8802) to work <06213> (8800) in gold <02091>, and in silver <03701> , in brass <05178>, in iron <01270>, in stone <068>, and in timber <06086>, in purple <0713>, in blue <08504>, and in fine linen <0948>, and in crimson <03758>; also to grave <06605> (8763) any manner of graving <06603>, and to find out <02803> (8800) every device <04284> which shall be put <05414> (8735) to him, with thy cunning men <02450>, and with the cunning men <02450> of my lord <0113> David <01732> thy father <01>.
15 Now therefore the wheat <02406>, and the barley <08184>, the oil <08081>, and the wine <03196>, which my lord <0113> hath spoken <0559> (8804) of, let him send <07971> (8799) unto his servants <05650>:
16 And we will cut <03772> (8799) wood <06086> out of Lebanon <03844>, as much as thou shalt need <06878>: and we will bring <0935> (8686) it to thee in floats <07513> by sea <03220> to Joppa <03305>; and thou shalt carry it up <05927> (8686) to Jerusalem <03389>.
17 And Solomon <08010> numbered <05608> (8799) all the strangers <0582> <01616> that were in the land <0776> of Israel <03478>, after <0310> the numbering <05610> wherewith David <01732> his father <01> had numbered <05608> (8804) them; and they were found <04672> (8735) an hundred <03967> and fifty <02572> thousand <0505> and three <07969> thousand <0505> and six <08337> hundred <03967>.
18 And he set <06213> (8799) threescore and ten <07657> thousand <0505> of them to be bearers of burdens <05449> , and fourscore <08084> thousand <0505> to be hewers <02672> (8802) in the mountain <02022>, and three <07969> thousand <0505> and six <08337> hundred <03967> overseers <05329> (8764) to set <05647> <00> the people <05971> a work <05647> (8687).
