1KI-5:1 And Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants unto Solomon;
for he had heard that they had anointed him king in the room of
his father: for Hiram was ever a lover of David.
1KI-5:2 And Solomon sent to Hiram, saying,
1KI-5:3 Thou knowest how that David my father could not build an
house unto the name of the LORD his God for the wars which were
about him on every side, until the LORD put them under the soles
of his feet.
1KI-5:4 But now the LORD my God hath given me rest on every side,
[so that there is] neither adversary nor evil occurrent.
1KI-5:5 And, behold, I purpose to build an house unto the name
of the LORD my God, as the LORD spake unto David my father,
saying, Thy son, whom I will set upon thy throne in thy room, he
shall build an house unto my name.
1KI-5:6 Now therefore command thou that they hew me cedar trees
out of Lebanon; and my servants shall be with thy servants: and
unto thee will I give hire for thy servants according to all
that thou shalt appoint: for thou knowest that [there is] not
among us any that can skill to hew timber like unto the
Sidonians.
1KI-5:7 And it came to pass, when Hiram heard the words of
Solomon, that he rejoiced greatly, and said, Blessed [be] the
LORD this day, which hath given unto David a wise son over this
great people.
1KI-5:8 And Hiram sent to Solomon, saying, I have considered the
things which thou sentest to me for: [and] I will do all thy
desire concerning timber of cedar, and concerning timber of fir.
1KI-5:9 My servants shall bring [them] down from Lebanon unto
the sea: and I will convey them by sea in floats unto the place
that thou shalt appoint me, and will cause them to be discharged
there, and thou shalt receive [them]: and thou shalt accomplish
my desire, in giving food for my household.
1KI-5:10 So Hiram gave Solomon cedar trees and fir trees
[according to] all his desire.
1KI-5:11 And Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand measures of
wheat [for] food to his household, and twenty measures of pure
oil: thus gave Solomon to Hiram year by year.
1KI-5:12 And the LORD gave Solomon wisdom, as he promised him:
and there was peace between Hiram and Solomon; and they two made
a league together.
1KI-5:13 And king Solomon raised a levy out of all Israel; and
the levy was thirty thousand men.
1KI-5:14 And he sent them to Lebanon, ten thousand a month by
courses: a month they were in Lebanon, [and] two months at home:
and Adoniram [was] over the levy.
1KI-5:15 And Solomon had threescore and ten thousand that bare
burdens, and fourscore thousand hewers in the mountains;
1KI-5:16 Beside the chief of Solomon's officers which [were]
over the work, three thousand and three hundred, which ruled
over the people that wrought in the work.
1KI-5:17 And the king commanded, and they brought great stones,
costly stones, [and] hewed stones, to lay the foundation of the
house.
1KI-5:18 And Solomon's builders and Hiram's builders did hew
[them], and the stonesquarers: so they prepared timber and
stones to build the house.
