1 Kings 5:1
|
|
And Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants unto
Solomon; for he had heard that they had anointed him king in the room of his father:
for Hiram was ever a lover of David. |
|
|
|
1 Kings 5:2 |
|
And Solomon sent to Hiram, saying, |
|
|
|
1 Kings 5:3 |
|
Thou knowest how that David my father could
not build a house for the name of Jehovah his God for the wars which were about
him on every side, until Jehovah put them under the soles of his feet. |
|
|
|
1 Kings 5:4 |
|
But now Jehovah my God hath given me rest on
every side; there is neither adversary, nor evil occurrence. |
|
|
|
1 Kings 5:5 |
|
And, behold, I purpose to build a house for
the name of Jehovah my God, as Jehovah spake unto David my father, saying, Thy
son, whom I will set upon thy throne in thy room, he shall build the house for
my name. |
|
|
|
1 Kings 5:6 |
|
Now therefore command thou that they cut me
cedar-trees out of Lebanon; and my servants shall be with thy servants; and I
will give thee hire for thy servants according to all that thou shalt say: for
thou knowest that there is not among us any that knoweth how to cut timber like
unto the Sidonians. |
|
|
|
1 Kings 5:7 |
|
And it came to pass, when Hiram heard the words
of Solomon, that he rejoiced greatly, and said, Blessed be Jehovah this day, who
hath given unto David a wise son over this great people. |
|
|
|
1 Kings 5:8 |
|
And Hiram sent to Solomon, saying, I have heard
the message which thou hast sent unto me: I will do all thy desire concerning
timber of cedar, and concerning timber of fir. |
|
|
|
1 Kings 5:9 |
|
My servants shall bring them down from Lebanon
unto the sea; and I will make them into rafts to go by sea unto the place that
thou shalt appoint me, and will cause them to be broken up there, and thou shalt
receive them; and thou shalt accomplish my desire, in giving food for my household.
|
|
|
|
1 Kings 5:10 |
|
So Hiram gave Solomon timber of cedar and timber
of fir according to all his desire. |
|
|
|
1 Kings 5:11 |
|
And Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand measures
of wheat for food to his household, and twenty measures of pure oil: thus gave
Solomon to Hiram year by year. |
|
|
|
1 Kings 5:12 |
|
And Jehovah gave Solomon wisdom, as he promised
him; and there was peace between Hiram and Solomon; and they two made a league
together. |
|
|
|
1 Kings 5:13 |
|
And king Solomon raised a levy out of all Israel;
and the levy was thirty thousand men. |
|
|
|
1 Kings 5:14 |
|
And he sent them to Lebanon, ten thousand a
month by courses; a month they were in Lebanon, and two months at home; and Adoniram
was over the men subject to taskwork. |
|
|
|
1 Kings 5:15 |
|
And Solomon had threescore and ten thousand
that bare burdens, and fourscore thousand that were hewers in the mountains; |
|
|
|
1 Kings 5:16 |
|
besides Solomon's chief officers that were over
the work, three thousand and three hundred, who bare rule over the people that
wrought in the work. |
|
|
|
1 Kings 5:17 |
|
And the king commanded, and they hewed out great
stones, costly stones, to lay the foundation of the house with wrought stone.
|
|
|
|
1 Kings 5:18 |
|
And Solomon's builders and Hiram's builders
and the Gebalites did fashion them, and prepared the timber and the stones to
build the house. |
