2 Chronicles 2:11-18

11ThenH559 HiramH2361 kingH4428 of TyreH6865 wrote a letterH3791 in replyH7971 toH413 SolomonH8010:

“Because the LORDH3068 lovesH160 His peopleH5971, He has set youH5414 over themH5921 as kingH4428.”

12And HiramH2361 addedH559:

“BlessedH1288 be the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of IsraelH3478, whoH834 madeH6213 the heavensH8064 and the earthH776! HeH834 has givenH5414 KingH4428 DavidH1732 a wiseH2450H3045 sonH1121 with insightH7922 and understandingH998, whoH834 will buildH1129 a templeH1004 for the LORDH3068 and a royalH4438 palace for himselfH1004.

13So now IH6258 am sending youH7971 Huram-abiH2361H1, a skillfulH2450 manH376 endowedH3045 with creativityH998.1 14He is the sonH1121 of a womanH802 fromH4480 the daughtersH1323 of DanH1835, and his fatherH1 is a manH376 of TyreH6876. He is skilledH3045 in workH6213 with goldH2091 and silverH3701, bronzeH5178 and ironH1270, stoneH68 and woodH6086, purpleH713, blueH8504, and crimson yarnH3758, and fine linenH948. He is experienced in every kindH3605 of engravingH6605H6603 and can executeH2803 anyH3605 designH4284 thatH834 is givenH5414 him. He will work withH5973 your craftsmenH2450 and with thoseH2450 of my lordH113, your fatherH1 DavidH1732.

15NowH6258 let my lordH113 sendH7971 to his servantsH5650 the wheatH2406, barleyH8184, olive oilH8081, and wineH3196 he promisedH559. 16WeH587 will cutH3772 logsH6086 fromH4480 LebanonH3844, as manyH3605 as you needH6878, and we will float themH935 to you as raftsH7513 byH5921 seaH3220 down to JoppaH3305. Then youH859 can take them upH5927 to JerusalemH3389.”

17SolomonH8010 numberedH5608 allH3605 the foreignH1616 menH376 in the landH776 of IsraelH3478 followingH310 the censusH5610 his fatherH1 DavidH1732 had conducted, and there were found to beH4672 153,600H3967H2572H505H7969H8337 in all. 18Solomon madeH6213 70,000 of themH7657H505 portersH5449, 80,000H8084H505 stonecuttersH2672 in the mountainsH2022, and 3,600H7969H505H8337H3967 supervisorsH5329H5647H5971.
