1 H2438 And Hiram H4428 king H6865 of Tyre H7971 [H8799] sent H5650 his servants H8010 to Solomon H8085 [H8804] ; for he had heard H4886 [H8804] that they had anointed H4428 him king H1 in the stead of his father H2438 : for Hiram H3117 was ever H157 [H8802] a lover H1732 of David.

2 H8010 And Solomon H7971 [H8799] sent H2438 to Hiram H559 [H8800] , saying,

3 H3045 [H8804] Thou knowest H1732 how that David H1 my father H3201 [H8804] could H1129 [H8800] not build H1004 an house H8034 to the name H3068 of the LORD H430 his God H6440 for H4421 the wars H5437 [H8804] which were about him on every side H3068 , until the LORD H5414 [H8800] put H3709 them under the soles H7272 of his feet.

4 H3068 But now the LORD H430 my God H5117 [H8689] hath given me rest H5439 on every side H7854 , so that there is neither adversary H7451 nor evil H6294 occurrent.

5 H559 [H8802] And, behold, I purpose H1129 [H8800] to build H1004 an house H8034 to the name H3068 of the LORD H430 my God H3068 , as the LORD H1696 [H8765] spoke H1732 to David H1 my father H559 [H8800] , saying H1121 , Thy son H5414 [H8799] , whom I will set H3678 upon thy throne H1129 [H8799] in thy stead, he shall build H1004 an house H8034 to my name.

6 H6680 [H8761] Now therefore command H3772 [H8799] thou that they hew H730 me cedar trees H3844 out of Lebanon H5650 ; and my servants H5650 shall be with thy servants H5414 [H8799] : and to thee will I give H7939 hire H5650 for thy servants H559 [H8799] according to all that thou shalt appoint H3045 [H8804] : for thou knowest H376 that there is not among us any H3045 [H8802] that hast skill H3772 [H8800] to hew H6086 timber H6722 like the Sidonians.

7 H2438 And it came to pass, when Hiram H8085 [H8800] heard H1697 the words H8010 of Solomon H8055 [H8799] , that he rejoiced H3966 greatly H559 [H8799] , and said H1288 [H8803] , Blessed H3068 be the LORD H3117 this day H5414 [H8804] , who hath given H1732 to David H2450 a wise H1121 son H7227 over this great H5971 people.

8 H2438 And Hiram H7971 [H8799] sent H8010 to Solomon H559 [H8800] , saying H8085 [H8804] , I have considered H7971 [H8804] the things which thou sentest H6213 [H8799] to me for: and I will perform H2656 all thy desire H6086 concerning timber H730 of cedar H6086 , and concerning timber H1265 of fir.

9 H5650 My servants H3381 [H8686] shall bring them down H3844 from Lebanon H3220 to the sea H7760 [H8799] : and I will convey H3220 them by sea H1702 in floats H4725 to the place H7971 [H8799] that thou shalt appoint H5310 [H8765] me, and will cause them to be discharged H5375 [H8799] there, and thou shalt receive H6213 [H8799] them: and thou shalt accomplish H2656 my desire H5414 [H8800] , in giving H3899 food H1004 for my household.

10 H2438 So Hiram H5414 [H8802] gave H8010 Solomon H730 cedar H6086 trees H1265 and fir H6086 trees H2656 according to all his desire.

11 H8010 And Solomon H5414 [H8804] gave H2438 Hiram H6242 twenty H505 thousand H3734 measures H2406 of wheat H4361 for food H1004 to his household H6242 , and twenty H3734 measures H3795 of pure H8081 oil H5414 [H8799] : thus gave H8010 Solomon H2438 to Hiram H8141 year H8141 by year.

12 H3068 And the LORD H5414 [H8804] gave H8010 Solomon H2451 wisdom H1696 [H8765] , as he promised H7965 him: and there was peace H2438 between Hiram H8010 and Solomon H8147 0 ; and they two H3772 [H8799] made H1285 a league H8147 together.

13 H4428 And king H8010 Solomon H5927 [H8686] raised H4522 forced labour H3478 out of all Israel H4522 ; and the levy H7970 was thirty H505 thousand H376 men.

14 H7971 [H8799] And he sent H3844 them to Lebanon H6235 , ten H505 thousand H2320 a month H2487 by courses H2320 : a month H3844 they were in Lebanon H8147 , and two H2320 months H1004 at home H141 : and Adoniram H4522 was over the forced labour.

15 H8010 And Solomon H7657 had seventy H505 thousand H5375 [H8802] that bore H5449 burdens H8084 , and eighty H505 thousand H2672 [H8802] hewers H2022 in the mountains;

16 H8269 Besides the chief H8010 of Solomon's H5324 [H8737] officers H4399 who were over the work H7969 , three H505 thousand H7969 and three H3967 hundred H7287 [H8802] , who ruled H5971 over the people H6213 [H8802] that wrought H4399 in the work.

17 H4428 And the king H6680 [H8762] commanded H5265 [H8686] , and they brought H1419 great H68 stones H3368 , costly H68 stones H1496 , and hewed H68 stones H3245 [H8763] , to lay the foundation H1004 of the house.

18 H8010 And Solomon's H1129 [H8802] builders H2438 and Hiram's H1129 [H8802] builders H6458 [H8799] did hew H1382 them, and the stonesquarers H3559 [H8686] : so they prepared H6086 timber H68 and stones H1129 [H8800] to build H1004 the house.
