1
Now Solomon
decided
to build
a house
for the name
of the LORD
and a royal
palace
for himself.
2
So Solomon
assigned
70,000
men
to carry loads
and 80,000
men
to quarry
stone in the mountains
and 3,600
to supervise
them.
3
Then Solomon
sent
word to Huram
the king
of Tyre,
saying,
"As you dealt
with David
my father
and
sent
him cedars
to build
him a house
to dwell
in, so do for me.
4
"Behold,
I am about to build
a house
for the name
of the LORD
my God,
dedicating
it to Him, to burn
fragrant
incense
before
Him and to set out the showbread
continually,
and to offer burnt offerings
morning
and evening,
on sabbaths
and on new moons
and on the appointed feasts
of the LORD
our God,
this
being required forever
in Israel.
5
"The house
which
I am about to build
will be great,
for greater
is our God
than
all
the gods.
6
"But who
is able
to build
a house
for Him, for the
heavens
and the highest
heavens
cannot
contain
Him?
So who
am I, that I should build
a house
for Him, except
to burn
incense before
Him?
7
"Now
send
me a skilled
man
to work
in gold,
silver,
brass
and iron,
and in purple,
crimson
and violet
fabrics, and who knows
how to make
engravings,
to work
with the skilled men
whom
I have
in Judah
and Jerusalem,
whom
David
my father
provided.
8
"Send
me also cedar,
cypress
and algum
timber
from Lebanon,
for I
know
that your servants
know
how to cut
timber
of Lebanon;
and indeed
my servants
will work with your servants,
9
to prepare
timber
in abundance
for me, for the house
which
I am about to build
will be great
and wonderful.
10
"Now behold,
I will give
to your servants,
the woodsmen
who cut
the timber,
20,000
kors
of crushed
wheat
and
20,000
kors
of barley,
and
20,000
baths
of wine
and
20,000
baths
of oil."
11
Then Huram,
king
of Tyre,
answered
in a letter
sent
to Solomon:
"Because the LORD
loves
His people,
He has made
you
king
over
them."
12
Then Huram
continued,
"Blessed
be the LORD,
the God
of Israel,
who
has made
heaven
and earth,
who
has given
King
David
a wise
son,
endowed
with discretion
and understanding,
who
will build
a house
for the LORD
and a royal
palace
for himself.
13
"Now
I am sending
Huram-abi,
a skilled
man,
endowed
with understanding,
14
the son
of a Danite
woman
and a Tyrian
father,
who knows
how to work
in gold,
silver,
bronze,
iron,
stone
and wood,
and in purple,
violet,
linen
and crimson
fabrics, and
who knows
how to make
all
kinds of engravings
and to execute
any
design
which
may be assigned
to him, to work with your skilled
men and with those
of my lord
David
your father.
15
"Now
then, let my lord
send
to his servants
wheat
and barley,
oil
and wine,
of which
he has spoken.
16
"We will cut
whatever
timber
you need
from Lebanon
and bring
it to you on rafts
by sea
to Joppa,
so that you may carry
it up to Jerusalem."
17
Solomon
numbered
all
the aliens
who
were in the land
of Israel,
following
the census
which
his father
David
had taken;
and 153,600
were found.
18
He appointed
70,000
of them to carry loads
and 80,000
to quarry
stones in the mountains
and 3,600
supervisors
to make the people
work.
