3 Then Solomon sent word tofHuram 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 togburn 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 menhwhom 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, 20,000ikors of crushed wheat and 20,000jkors of barley, and 20,000 baths of wine and 20,000 baths of oil.” | |
11 Then Huram, king of Tyre,kanswered in a letter sent to Solomon: “Because the LORD loves His people, He has made you king over them.” 12 Then Huramlcontinued, “Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, who has made heaven and earth, who has given King David a wise son,mendowed with discretion and understanding, who will build a house for the LORD and anroyal palace for himself. | |
13 “Now I am sending Huram-abi, a skilled man,oendowed with understanding, 14 the son of apDanite woman andqa 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 torexecute any design which may be assigned to him, to work with your skilled men and withsthose 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.” | |
