Berean Standard Bible
And
Hiram king of Tyre sendeth
his
servants
unto
Solomon,
for
he
heard that they
had anointed him
for
king instead
of
his father
, for Hiram was
a lover
of David all
the
days;
Now
when
Hiram king of Tyre heard that Solomon
had been
anointed king in
his father’s
place
, he
sent
envoys
to
Solomon;
for Hiram had
always
been
a friend
of David .
and Solomon sendeth
unto
Hiram ,
saying,
And Solomon relayed
this
message
to
Hiram :
`Thou
hast
known
David
my father, that
he hath
not been
able
to
build a house to
the name of Jehovah
his God ,
because
of
the wars
that
have
been
round
about
him,
till
Jehovah's
putting
them
under the
soles
of
his feet.
“As
you
are
well
aware,
due
to
the
wars
waged
on
all
sides
against
my father David
, he could
not build a house for
the Name of the
LORD
his God until
the LORD
had
put
his
enemies
under his feet.
`And
now ,
Jehovah
my God hath
given rest
to
me round
about
, there is no adversary nor
evil
occurrence,
But
now the
LORD
my God has
given me rest
on
every
side
, and
there is no adversary or
crisis.
and
lo
, I am
saying
to build a house to
the name of Jehovah
my God, as
Jehovah
spake
unto
David
my father ,
saying,
Thy
son
whom
I appoint
in
thy
stead
on thy
throne, he doth
build the house for My name.
So
behold
, I plan
to build a house for
the Name of the
LORD
my God, according
to
what
the
LORD
said
to
my father David:
‘
I will
put
your
son
on your
throne in
your
place
, and
he will
build the house for My Name. ’
`And
now ,
command
, and
they
cut down for me cedars
out
of
Lebanon,
and
my servants are
with thy
servants, and the
hire
of
thy
servants
I give
to
thee
according
to
all
that
thou
sayest
, for thou
hast
known
that there is
not
among us a
man
acquainted
with
cutting
wood,
like
the Sidonians. '
Now therefore
, order
that
cedars
of
Lebanon
be
cut down for me .
My servants will
be
with your
servants, and I will
pay
your
servants
whatever
wages
you
set
, for you
know
that there are
none
among us as
skilled
in
logging
as
the Sidonians. ”
And
it
cometh
to
pass
at
Hiram's
hearing
the
words
of
Solomon
, that
he rejoiceth
exceedingly,
and saith
, `
Blessed `is'
Jehovah
to-
day ,
who
hath
given to
David a wise son over this numerous
people .'
When
Hiram
received
Solomon’s
message
, he rejoiced
greatly
and said
, “
Blessed be
the
LORD
this
day !
He
has
given David a wise son over this great
people !”
And
Hiram sendeth
unto
Solomon, saying ,
I have heard
that
which
thou
hast
sent
unto
me,
I do all thy
desire concerning
cedar -wood,
and fir-wood,
Then
Hiram sent
a
reply
to
Solomon, saying :
“
I have received
your
message;
I will
do all you
desire regarding
the
cedar and cypress
timber.
my servants bring
down
from Lebanon to the sea, and I make
them floats
in
the
sea unto
the place that
thou
sendest
unto
me,
and
I
have
spread
them
out
there ;
and thou
dost
take `
them '
up,
and thou
dost
execute
my
desire
, to
give
the
food
of
my house
. '
My servants will
haul
the
logs
from Lebanon to the Sea, and I will
float
them as
rafts
by
sea to
the place you
specify.
There I
will
separate
the
logs,
and you
can
take them away.
And in
exchange
, you
can
meet
my needs
by
providing
my
household
with
food
. ”
And
Hiram is
giving
to
Solomon cedar -trees,
and fir-trees,
all
his
desire
,
So
Hiram provided
Solomon with
all
the
cedar and cypress
timber
he
wanted
,
and Solomon hath
given
to
Hiram twenty
thousand
cors of wheat ,
food for his house
, and
twenty
cors
of beaten
oil ;
thus
doth
Solomon
give
to
Hiram
year
by
year
.
and year
after
year
Solomon would
provide
Hiram with
20,000
cors of wheat as
food for his household
, as
well
as
20,000
baths
of pure
olive
oil.
And Jehovah
hath
given
wisdom
to
Solomon as He spake
to
him ,
and
there is
peace between Hiram and Solomon, and they
make
a
covenant
both
of them.
And the
LORD
gave
Solomon wisdom,
as He had
promised
him .
There was
peace between Hiram and Solomon, and the
two
of them made
a
treaty
.
And
king Solomon lifteth
up
a tribute
out
of all
Israel
, and
the
tribute
is
thirty
thousand
men ,
Then
King Solomon conscripted
a labor
force
of 30
, 000
men from
all
Israel.
and
he sendeth
them to Lebanon ,
ten
thousand
a
month
, by
changes
, a
month
they are
in Lebanon ,
two months in
their
own
house;
and Adoniram `is'
over
the tribute
.
He sent
them to Lebanon in
monthly
shifts
of
10
, 000
men
, so
that
they would
spend
one
month
in Lebanon and
two months at
home.
And Adoniram was
in
charge
of
the forced
labor
.
And
king
Solomon hath
seventy
thousand
bearing
burdens
, and eighty
thousand
hewing
in the mountain
,
Solomon had
70
, 000
porters
and 80,000
stonecutters
in the mountains
,
apart
from
the
heads
of
the
officers
of
Solomon,
who
`are'
over
the
work,
three
thousand
and
three
hundred
, those
ruling
over
the
people
who are
working
in
the business
.
not
including
his
3
, 300
foremen
who supervised
the workers
.
And the king commandeth
, and
they
bring
great
stones ,
precious
stone,
to lay the foundation of the house,
hewn
stones ;
And the king commanded
them
to
quarry
large
, costly
stones to lay the foundation of the temple
with
dressed
stones .
and the
builders of
Solomon
, and
the builders
of
Hiram
, and
the Giblites
hew,
and prepare
the wood
and the stones
to
build
the house
.
So
Solomon’s
and Hiram’s
builders, along
with
the Gebalites
, quarried
the stone
and prepared
the timber
and stone
for
the construction
of
the temple
.
