V.1 And Solomon 8010 determined 559-4 to build 1129-2 an house 1004 for the name 8034 of the LORD, 3068 and an house 1004 for his kingdom. 4438

2:2 And Solomon 8010 told out 5608-4 threescore and ten 7657 thousand 505 men 376 to bear burdens, 5449 and fourscore 8084 thousand 505 376 to hew 2672-6 in the mountain, 2022 and three 7969 thousand 505 and six 8337 hundred 3967 to oversee 5329-18 them.

2:3 And Solomon 8010 sent 7971-4 to Huram 2361 the king 4428 of Tyre, 6865 saying, 559-2 As thou didst deal 6213-1 with David 1732 my father, 1 and didst send 7971-4 him cedars 730 to build 1129-2 him an house 1004 to dwell 3427-2 therein, [even so deal with me].

2:4 Behold, I build 1129-6 an house 1004 to the name 8034 of the LORD 3068 my God, 430 to dedicate 6942-53 [it] to him, [and] to burn 6999-53 before 6440 him sweet 5561 incense, 7004 and for the continual 8548 shewbread, 4635 and for the burnt offerings 5930 morning 1242 1242 and evening, 6153 on the sabbaths, 7676 and on the new moons, 2320 and on the solemn feasts 4150 of the LORD 3068 our God. 430 This [is an ordinance] for ever 5769 to Israel. 3478

2:5 And the house 1004 which I build 1129-6 [is] great: 1419 for great 1419 [is] our God 430 above all gods. 430

2:6 But who is 6113-4 able 3581 to build 1129-2 him an house, 1004 seeing the heaven 8064 and heaven 8064 of heavens 8064 cannot contain 3557-46 him? who [am] I then, that I should build 1129-4 him an house, 1004 save only 518 to burn sacrifice 6999-53 before 6440 him?

2:7 Send 7971-3 me now therefore a man 376 cunning 2450 to work 6213-2 in gold, 2091 and in silver, 3701 and in brass, 5178 and in iron, 1270 and in purple, 710 and crimson, 3758 and blue, 8504 and that can skill 3045-6 to grave 6605-15 6603 with the cunning men 2450 that [are] with me in Judah 3063 and in Jerusalem, 3389 whom David 1732 my father 1 did provide. 3559-52

2:8 Send 7971-3 me also cedar 730 trees, 6086 fir trees, 1265 and algum 418 trees, out of Lebanon: 3844 for I know 3045-1 that thy servants 5650 can skill 3045-6 to cut 3772-2 timber 6086 in Lebanon; 3844 and, behold, my servants 5650 [shall be] with thy servants, 5650

2:9 Even to prepare 3559-53 me timber 6086 in abundance: 7230 for the house 1004 which I am about to build 1129-6 [shall be] wonderful 6381-53 great. 1419

2:10 And, behold, I will give 5414-1 to thy servants, 5650 the hewers 2404-6 that cut 3772-6 timber, 6086 twenty 6242 thousand 505 measures 3734 of beaten 4347 wheat, 2406 and twenty 6242 thousand 505 measures 3734 of barley, 8184 and twenty 6242 thousand 505 baths 1324 of wine, 3196 and twenty 6242 thousand 505 baths 1324 of oil. 8081

2:11 Then Huram 2361 the king 4428 of Tyre 6865 answered 559- 4 in writing, 3791 which he sent 7971-4 to Solomon, 8010 Because the LORD 3068 hath loved 160 his people, 5971 he hath made 5414-1 thee king 4428 over them.

2:12 Huram 2361 said 559-4 moreover, Blessed 1288-7 [be] the LORD 3068 God 430 of Israel, 3478 that made 6213-1 heaven 8064 and earth, 776 who hath given 5414-1 to David 1732 the king 4428 a wise 2450 son, 1121 endued 3045-6 with prudence 7922 and understanding, 998 that might build 1129-4 an house 1004 for the LORD, 3068 and an house 1004 for his kingdom. 4438

2:13 And now I have sent 7971-1 a cunning 2450 man, 376 endued 3045-6 with understanding, 998 of Huram 2361 my father's, 1

2:14 The son 1121 of a woman 802 of the daughters 1323 of Dan, 1835 and his father 1 [was] a man 376 of Tyre, 6876 skilful 3045-6 to work 6213-2 in gold, 2091 and in silver, 3701 in brass, 5178 in iron, 1270 in stone, 68 and in timber, 6086 in purple, 713 in blue, 8504 and in fine linen, 948 and in crimson; 3758 also to grave 6605-15 any manner of graving, 6603 and to find out 2803-2 every device 4284 which shall be put 5414-11 to him, with thy cunning men, 2450 and with the cunning men 2450 of my lord 113 David 1732 thy father. 1

2:15 Now therefore the wheat, 2406 and the barley, 8184 the oil, 8081 and the wine, 3196 which my lord 113 hath spoken 559-1 of, let him send 7971-4 unto his servants: 5650

2:16 And we will cut 3772-4 wood 6086 out of Lebanon, 3844 as much as thou shalt need: 6878 and we will bring 935-55 it to thee in floats 7513 by sea 3220 to Joppa; 3305 and thou shalt carry it up 5927-55 to Jerusalem. 3389

2:17 And Solomon 8010 numbered 5608-4 all the strangers 582 1616 that [were] in the land 776 of Israel, 3478 after 310 the numbering 5610 wherewith David 1732 his father 1 had numbered 5608-1 them; and they were found 4672-11 an hundred 3967 and fifty 2572 thousand 505 and three 7969 thousand 505 and six 8337 hundred. 3967
