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 an house unto the name of the LORD his God for the wars which were about
him on every side, until the LORD put them under the soles of his feet. |
| |
|
|
| 1 Kings 5:4 |
|
But now the LORD my God hath given me rest on
every side, so that there is neither adversary nor evil occurrent. |
| |
|
|
| 1 Kings 5:5 |
|
And, behold, I purpose to build an house unto
the name of the LORD my God, as the LORD spake unto David my father, saying, Thy
son, whom I will set upon thy throne in thy room, he shall build an house unto
my name. |
| |
|
|
| 1 Kings 5:6 |
|
Now therefore command thou that they hew me
cedar trees out of Lebanon; and my servants shall be with thy servants: and unto
thee will I give hire for thy servants according to all that thou shalt appoint:
for thou knowest that there is not among us any that can skill to hew 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 the LORD this day,
which hath given unto David a wise son over this great people. |
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 5:8 |
|
And Hiram sent to Solomon, saying, I have considered
the things which thou sentest to me for: and 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 convey them by sea in floats unto the place that thou
shalt appoint me, and will cause them to be discharged 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 cedar trees and fir trees
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 the LORD 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 levy. |
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 5:15 |
|
And Solomon had threescore and ten thousand
that bare burdens, and fourscore thousand hewers in the mountains; |
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 5:16 |
|
Beside the chief of Solomon's officers which
were over the work, three thousand and three hundred, which ruled over the people
that wrought in the work. |
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 5:17 |
|
And the king commanded, and they brought great
stones, costly stones, and hewed stones, to lay the foundation of the house. |
|
|
|
| 1 Kings 5:18 |
|
And Solomon's builders and Hiram's builders
did hew them, and the stonesquarers: so they prepared timber and stones to build
the house. |
