Context of 2 Chronicles 2:10

8Send me also cedar, cypress, and algum timber, for I know that your servants know how to cut timber in Lebanon. And indeed my servants will work with your servants 9to prepare for me an abundance of timber, because the house I am about to build will be great and wonderful.
