1 Kings 5:6-10

6Now thereforeH6258, orderH6680 that cedarsH730 ofH4480 LebanonH3844 be cut downH3772 for me. My servantsH5650 will beH1961 withH5973 your servantsH5650, and I will payH5414 your servantsH5650 whatever wagesH7939H3605 you setH559, forH3588 youH859 knowH3045 thatH3588 there are noneH369 among us as skilledH3045 in loggingH3772H6086 as the SidoniansH6722.”

When HiramH2438 receivedH8085 Solomon’sH8010 messageH1697, he rejoicedH8055 greatlyH3966 and saidH559, “BlessedH1288 be the LORDH3068 this dayH3117! HeH834 has givenH5414 DavidH1732 a wiseH2450 sonH1121 overH5921 thisH2088 greatH7227 peopleH5971!” 8Then HiramH2438 sentH7971 a reply toH413 SolomonH8010, sayingH559:

“I have receivedH8085 your messageH834H7971H413; IH589 will doH6213 allH3605 you desireH2656 regarding the cedarH730H6086 and cypressH12651 timberH6086. 9My servantsH5650 will haul the logsH3381 fromH4480 LebanonH3844 to the SeaH3220,2 and IH589 will float themH7760 as raftsH1702 by seaH3220 toH5704 the placeH4725 you specifyH7971H413. ThereH8033 I will separateH5310 the logs, and youH859 can take them awayH5375. And in exchange, youH859 can meetH6213 my needsH2656 by providingH5414 my householdH1004 with foodH3899.”

10SoH1961 HiramH2438 providedH5414 SolomonH8010 with allH3605 the cedarH730H6086 and cypressH1265 timberH6086 he wantedH2656,
