Young's Literal Translation
Now
Solomon purposed
to build a house for the Name of the
LORD
and a royal
palace
for himself.
And
Solomon saith
to build a house for the name of Jehovah,
and a house
for his
kingdom,
So
he
conscripted
70,000
porters,
80
, 000
stonecutters
in the mountains
, and 3,600
supervisors
.
and
Solomon
numbereth
seventy
thousand
men
bearing
burden
, and
eighty
thousand
men
hewing
in the mountain
, and overseers
over
them
--
three
thousand
and
six
hundred
.
Then
Solomon sent
word
to
Hiram
king of Tyre :
“Do
for
me
as
you
did
for
my father David
when
you
sent
him cedars to build himself
a house to live
in .
And
Solomon sendeth
unto
Huram
king of Tyre ,
saying,
`When
thou
hast
dealt
with
David
my father ,
then
thou
dost
send
to
him cedars to build for
him
a house to dwell
in ;
Behold
, I am about
to
build
a house for
the Name of the
LORD
my God to dedicate
to Him for
burning
fragrant
incense
before Him, for
displaying
the
showbread
continuously
, and for
making
burnt offerings every
morning and evening as
well
as
on
the
Sabbaths, New Moons, and appointed feasts
of the
LORD
our God .
This is ordained
for
Israel forever
.
lo
, I am building
a house to
the name of Jehovah
my God ,
to sanctify
`it'
to Him ,
to
make
perfume
before Him, perfume
of
spices
, and a
continual
arrangement,
and
burnt -
offerings at
morning and at
evening ,
at
sabbaths, and
at
new moons, and at
appointed seasons
of Jehovah
our God ;
to
the
age
this `
is '
on
Israel.
The house that I am building will
be
great, for our God is
greater
than all gods .
`And
the house that I am building `is'
great, for greater
`is'
our God than all gods ;
But
who is
able
to build a house for
Him
, since
the heavens, even the highest
heavens, cannot
contain Him? Who then
am I ,
that I should
build a house for
Him
, except as
a
place
to burn
sacrifices
before Him?
and
who doth
retain
strength
to build to
Him
a house, for
the heavens, even the heavens of
the
heavens
, do
not
contain Him? and
who `
am '
I that I do
build to
Him
a house, except to make
perfume
before Him?
Send me ,
therefore,
a craftsman
skilled
in
engraving
to work with
gold and silver, with
bronze
and iron, and with
purple, crimson, and blue yarn.
He
will
work
with my
craftsmen
in Judah and Jerusalem, whom my father David
provided.
`And
now,
send to
me a wise
man
to work in
gold ,
and in
silver, and in
brass,
and
in
iron, and in
purple, and
crimson, and blue ,
and
knowing
to
grave
gravings
with the
wise
men
who
`are'
with
me
in Judah and in
Jerusalem, whom David
my father prepared;
Send me also
cedar, cypress
, and algum
logs
from Lebanon, for I know
that your
servants have
skill
to cut timber
there.
And indeed
, my servants will
work
with yours
and
send to
me cedar -trees
, firs
, and algums
from Lebanon, for I have
known
that thy
servants know
to cut down
trees
of
Lebanon,
and lo
, my servants `are'
with thy
servants,
to prepare for me timber
in abundance, because
the temple
I am building will
be
great and wonderful.
even
to prepare for me trees
in abundance, for
the house
that
I am building `is'
great and wonderful.
I
will
pay
your
servants
, the woodcutters
, 20
, 000
cors of
ground
wheat
, 20
, 000
cors of
barley
, 20
, 000
baths of
wine
, and 20
, 000
baths of
olive
oil
. ”
`And
lo
, to
hewers,
to
those
cutting
the trees
, I
have
given
beaten
wheat
to
thy
servants
, cors twenty
thousand
, and
barley
, cors twenty
thousand
, and
wine
, baths twenty
thousand
, and oil
, baths twenty
thousand
. '
Then
Hiram
king of Tyre wrote
a
letter
in reply
to
Solomon: “Because
the LORD
loves
His people ,
He has
set
you
over them as
king
. ”
And
Huram
king of Tyre saith
in writing,
and
sendeth
unto
Solomon: `In
the love
of
Jehovah
to
His people He hath
given
thee
king
over them. '
And Hiram
added:
“
Blessed be
the
LORD
, the
God of Israel, who made the heavens and the earth !
He
has
given King
David a wise son with
insight
and understanding, who will
build a temple
for the
LORD
and a royal
palace
for himself
.
And Huram
saith,
`
Blessed `is'
Jehovah
, God of Israel, who made the heavens and the earth ,
who
hath
given to
David the
king
a wise son ,
knowing
wisdom
and understanding, who doth
build a house
for Jehovah,
and a house
for his
kingdom
.
So
now I
am
sending
you
Huram-abi
, a skillful
man endowed
with
creativity.
`And
now, I
have
sent
a wise
man having
understanding,
of
Huram
my
father,
He
is
the
son of a woman from
the daughters of Dan, and his father is
a man of Tyre .
He
is
skilled
in
work with
gold and silver, bronze
and
iron, stone
and wood, purple, blue, and crimson
yarn,
and
fine linen .
He
is
experienced
in every
kind
of
engraving
and can
execute
any design
that is given him .
He
will
work
with your
craftsmen
and with
those
of my lord ,
your
father
David.
(
son of a woman of
the daughters of Dan, and his father a man of Tyre ),
knowing
to
work in
gold ,
and in
silver, in
brass,
in
iron, in
stones,
and in
wood, in
purple, in
blue, and in
fine linen ,
and
in crimson,
and to
grave
any graving,
and
to
devise
any
device
that is given to
him ,
with thy
wise
men,
and the
wise
men
of my lord David thy
father
.
Now let
my
lord
send
to
his
servants
the wheat, barley, olive
oil, and wine he
promised.
`And,
now ,
the wheat, and
the
barley, the
oil, and the
wine ,
as
my
lord
said,
let
him
send
to
his
servants,
We will
cut logs
from
Lebanon, as
many
as
you
need, and we
will
float
them to you
as
rafts
by sea down
to Joppa .
Then
you
can
take them up to Jerusalem. ”
and
we --
we
cut trees
out
of
Lebanon, according
to
all
thy
need, and bring
them in
to thee
--
floats
by sea ,
to Joppa ,
and
thou
dost
take them up to Jerusalem. '
Solomon numbered
all the foreign
men in the land of Israel following
the census
his father David
had
conducted
, and there
were
found to
be
153
, 600
in
all.
And
Solomon numbereth
all the men ,
the
sojourners
who
`are'
in the land of Israel ,
after
the numbering
with
which
David
his father numbered
them
, and they
are
found a
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
, and
three
thousand,
and
six
hundred;
Solomon
made
70,000
of them porters,
80
, 000
stonecutters
in the mountains
, and 3
, 600
supervisors
.
and
he
maketh
of them seventy
thousand
burden-bearers
, and
eighty
thousand
hewers
in the mountain
, and three
thousand
and
six
hundred
overseers
, to
cause
the
people
to
work
.
