V.1 And Hiram 2438 king 4428 of Tyre 6865 sent 7971-4 his servants 5650 unto Solomon; 8010 for he had heard 8085-1 that they had anointed 4886-1 him king 4428 in the room of his father: 1 for Hiram 2438 was ever 3605 3117 a lover 157-6 of David. 1732

5:2 And Solomon 8010 sent 7971-4 to Hiram, 2438 saying, 559-2

5:3 Thou knowest 3045-1 how that David 1732 my father 1 could 3201-1 not build 1129-2 an house 1004 unto the name 8034 of the LORD 3068 his God 430 for 6440 the wars 4421 which were about him on every side, 5437-1 until the LORD 3068 put 5414- 2 them under the soles 3709 of his feet. 7272

5:4 But now the LORD 3068 my God 430 hath given me rest 5117- 52 on every side, 5439 [so that there is] neither adversary 7854 nor evil 7451 occurrent. 6294

5:5 And, behold, I purpose 559-6 to build 1129-2 an house 1004 unto the name 8034 of the LORD 3068 my God, 430 as the LORD 3068 spake 1696-14 unto David 1732 my father, 1 saying, 559-2 Thy son, 1121 whom I will set 5414-4 upon thy throne 3678 in thy room, he shall build 1129-4 an house 1004 unto my name. 8034

5:6 Now therefore command 6680-16 thou that they hew 3772-4 me cedar trees 730 out of Lebanon; 3844 and my servants 5650 shall be with thy servants: 5650 and unto thee will I give 5414-4 hire 7939 for thy servants 5650 according to all that thou shalt appoint: 559-4 for thou knowest 3045-1 that [there is] not among us any 376 that can skill 3045-6 to hew 3772-2 timber 6086 like unto the Sidonians. 6722

5:7 And it came to pass, when Hiram 2438 heard 8085-2 the words 1697 of Solomon, 8010 that he rejoiced 8055-4 greatly, 3966 and said, 559-4 Blessed 1288-7 [be] the LORD 3068 this day, 3117 which hath given 5414-1 unto David 1732 a wise 2450 son 1121 over this great 7227 people. 5971

5:8 And Hiram 2438 sent 7971-4 to Solomon, 8010 saying, 559-2 I have considered 8085-1 the things which thou sentest 7971-1 to me for: [and] I will do 6213-4 all thy desire 2656 concerning timber 6086 of cedar, 730 and concerning timber 6086 of fir. 1265

5:9 My servants 5650 shall bring [them] down 3381-55 from Lebanon 3844 unto the sea: 3220 and I will convey 7760-4 them by sea 3220 in floats 1702 unto the place 4725 that thou shalt appoint 7971-4 me, and will cause them to be discharged 5310-14 there, and thou shalt receive 5375-4 [them]: and thou shalt accomplish 6213-4 my desire, 2656 in giving 5414-2 food 3899 for my household. 1004

5:10 So Hiram 2438 gave 5414-6 Solomon 8010 cedar 730 trees 6086 and fir 1265 trees 6086 [according to] all his desire. 2656

5:11 And Solomon 8010 gave 5414-1 Hiram 2438 twenty 6242 thousand 505 measures 3734 of wheat 2406 [for] food 4361 to his household, 1004 and twenty 6242 measures 3734 of pure 3795 oil: 8081 thus gave 5414-4 Solomon 8010 to Hiram 2438 year 8141 by year. 8141

5:12 And the LORD 3068 gave 5414-1 Solomon 8010 wisdom, 2451 as he promised 1696-14 him: and there was peace 7965 between Hiram 2438 and Solomon; 8010 and they two 8147 made 3772-4 a league 1285 together.

5:13 And king 4428 Solomon 8010 raised 5927-55 a levy 4522 out of all Israel; 3478 and the levy 4522 was thirty 7970 thousand 505 men. 376

5:14 And he sent 7971-4 them to Lebanon, 3844 ten 6235 thousand 505 a month 2320 by courses: 2487 a month 2320 they were in Lebanon, 3844 [and] two 8147 months 2320 at home: 1004 and Adoniram 141 [was] over the levy. 4522

5:15 And Solomon 8010 had threescore and ten 7657 thousand 505 that bare 5375-6 burdens, 5449 and fourscore 8084 thousand 505 hewers 2672-6 in the mountains; 2022

5:16 Beside the chief 8269 of Solomon's 8010 officers 5324-12 which [were] over the work, 4399 three 7969 thousand 505 and three 7969 hundred, 3967 which ruled 7287-6 over the people 5971 that wrought 6213-6 in the work. 4399

5:17 And the king 4428 commanded, 6680-17 and they brought 5265-55 great 1419 stones, 68 costly 3368 stones, 68 [and] hewed 1496 stones, 68 to lay the foundation 3245-15 of the house. 1004
