1 # And Hiram <02438> king <04428> of Tyre <06865> sent <07971> (8799) his servants <05650> unto Solomon <08010>; for he had heard <08085> (8804) that they had anointed <04886> (8804) him king <04428> in the room of his father <01>: for Hiram <02438> was ever <03117> a lover <0157> (8802) of David <01732>.
2 And Solomon <08010> sent <07971> (8799) to Hiram <02438>, saying <0559> (8800),
3 Thou knowest <03045> (8804) how that David <01732> my father <01> could <03201> (8804) not build <01129> (8800) an house <01004> unto the name <08034> of the LORD <03068> his God <0430> for <06440> the wars <04421> which were about him on every side <05437> (8804), until the LORD <03068> put <05414> (8800) them under the soles <03709> of his feet <07272>.
4 But now the LORD <03068> my God <0430> hath given me rest <05117> (8689) on every side <05439>, so that there is neither adversary <07854> nor evil <07451> occurrent <06294>.
5 And, behold, I purpose <0559> (8802) to build <01129> (8800) an house <01004> unto the name <08034> of the LORD <03068> my God <0430>, as the LORD <03068> spake <01696> (8765) unto David <01732> my father <01>, saying <0559> (8800), Thy son <01121>, whom I will set <05414> (8799) upon thy throne <03678> in thy room, he shall build <01129> (8799) an house <01004> unto my name <08034>.
6 Now therefore command <06680> (8761) thou that they hew <03772> (8799) me cedar trees <0730> out of Lebanon <03844>; and my servants <05650> shall be with thy servants <05650>: and unto thee will I give <05414> (8799) hire <07939> for thy servants <05650> according to all that thou shalt appoint <0559> (8799): for thou knowest <03045> (8804) that there is not among us any <0376> that can skill <03045> (8802) to hew <03772> (8800) timber <06086> like unto the Sidonians <06722> .
7 And it came to pass, when Hiram <02438> heard <08085> (8800) the words <01697> of Solomon <08010>, that he rejoiced <08055> (8799) greatly <03966>, and said <0559> (8799), Blessed <01288> (8803) be the LORD <03068> this day <03117>, which hath given <05414> (8804) unto David <01732> a wise <02450> son <01121> over this great <07227> people <05971>.
8 And Hiram <02438> sent <07971> (8799) to Solomon <08010>, saying <0559> (8800), I have considered <08085> (8804) the things which thou sentest <07971> (8804) to me for: and I will do <06213> (8799) all thy desire <02656> concerning timber <06086> of cedar <0730>, and concerning timber <06086> of fir <01265>.
9 My servants <05650> shall bring them down <03381> (8686) from Lebanon <03844> unto the sea <03220>: and I will convey <07760> (8799) them by sea <03220> in floats <01702> unto the place <04725> that thou shalt appoint <07971> (8799) me, and will cause them to be discharged <05310> (8765) there, and thou shalt receive <05375> (8799) them: and thou shalt accomplish <06213> (8799) my desire <02656>, in giving <05414> (8800) food <03899> for my household <01004>.
10 # So Hiram <02438> gave <05414> (8802) Solomon <08010> cedar <0730> trees <06086> and fir <01265> trees <06086> according to all his desire <02656>.
11 And Solomon <08010> gave <05414> (8804) Hiram <02438> twenty <06242> thousand <0505> measures <03734> of wheat <02406> for food <04361> to his household <01004>, and twenty <06242> measures <03734> of pure <03795> oil <08081>: thus gave <05414> (8799) Solomon <08010> to Hiram <02438> year <08141> by year <08141>.

12 And the LORD <03068> gave <05414> (8804) Solomon <08010> wisdom <02451>, as he promised <01696> (8765) him: and there was peace <07965> between Hiram <02438> and Solomon <08010>; and they two <08147> <00> made <03772> (8799) a league <01285> together <08147>.
13 And king <04428> Solomon <08010> raised <05927> (8686) a levy <04522> out of all Israel <03478>; and the levy <04522> was thirty <07970> thousand <0505> men <0376>.
14 And he sent <07971> (8799) them to Lebanon <03844>, ten <06235> thousand <0505> a month <02320> by courses <02487>: a month <02320> they were in Lebanon <03844>, and two <08147> months <02320> at home <01004>: and Adoniram <0141> was over the levy <04522>.

16 Beside the chief <08269> of Solomon's <08010> officers <05324> (8737) which were over the work <04399> , three <07969> thousand <0505> and three <07969> hundred <03967>, which ruled <07287> (8802) over the people <05971> that wrought <06213> (8802) in the work <04399>.
17 And the king <04428> commanded <06680> (8762), and they brought <05265> (8686) great <01419> stones <068>, costly <03368> stones <068>, and hewed <01496> stones <068>, to lay the foundation <03245> (8763) of the house <01004>.
18 And Solomon's <08010> builders <01129> (8802) and Hiram's <02438> builders <01129> (8802) did hew <06458> (8799) them, and the stonesquarers <01382>: so they prepared <03559> (8686) timber <06086> and stones <068> to build <01129> (8800) the house <01004>.
