1
Now Hiram
king
of Tyre
sent
his servants
to Solomon,
when
he heard
that they
had
anointed
him
king
in place
of his father,
for Hiram
had
always
been
a friend
of David.
2
Then Solomon
sent
word to Hiram,
saying,
3
"You know
that David
my father
was unable
to build
a house
for the name
of
the LORD
his God
because
of the wars
which
surrounded
him, until
the LORD
put
them under
the soles
of his feet.
4
"But now
the LORD
my God
has given me rest
on every side;
there
is neither
adversary
nor
misfortune.
5
"Behold,
I intend
to build
a house
for the name
of the LORD
my God,
as the LORD
spoke
to David
my father,
saying,
'Your son,
whom
I will set
on your throne
in your place,
he will build
the house
for My name.'
6
"Now
therefore, command
that they cut
for me cedars
from Lebanon,
and my servants
will be with your servants;
and I will give
you wages
for your servants
according to all
that you say,
for you know
that there is no
one
among us who knows
how to cut
timber
like the Sidonians."
7
When Hiram
heard
the words
of Solomon,
he rejoiced
great
ly
and said,
"Blessed
be the LORD
today,
who
has given
to David
a wise
son
over
this
great
people."
8
So Hiram
sent
word to Solomon,
saying,
"I have heard
the message which
you have
sent
me; I will do
what you desire
concerning the cedar
and cypress
timber.
9
"My servants
will bring them down
from Lebanon
to the sea;
and I will make
them into rafts
to go by sea
to the place
where
you direct
me, and I will have them broken
up there,
and you shall carry
them away. Then you shall accomplish
my desire
by giving
food
to my household."
10
So Hiram
gave
Solomon
as much
as he desired
of the cedar
and cypress
timber.
11
Solomon
then gave
Hiram
20,000
kors
of wheat
as food
for his household,
and twenty
kors
of beaten
oil;
thus
Solomon
would give
Hiram
year
by
year
.
12
The LORD
gave
wisdom
to Solomon,
just
as He promised
him; and there was peace
between
Hiram
and Solomon,
and the two
of them made
a covenant.
13
Now King
Solomon
levied
forced
laborers
from all
Israel;
and the
forced
laborers
numbered
30,000
men.
14
He sent
them to Lebanon,
10,000
a month
in relays;
they were in Lebanon
a month
and two
months
at home.
And Adoniram
was over
the forced laborers.
15
Now Solomon
had
70,000
transporters,
and 80,000
hewers
of stone in the mountains,
16
besides
Solomon's
3,300
chief
deputies
who
were over
the project
and
who
ruled
over the people
who
were doing
the work.
17
Then the king
commanded,
and they quarried
great
stones,
costly
stones,
to lay the foundation
of the house
with cut
stones.
18
So Solomon's
builders
and Hiram's
builders
and the Gebalites
cut
them, and prepared
the timbers
and the stones
to build
the house.
