2 Chronicles 2:11-16

11Then King Hiram of Tyre wrote a letter and sent it to Solomon: Because the Lord loves his people, he set you over them as king.

12Hiram also said: Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, who made the heavens and the earth! He gave King David a wise son with insight and understanding, who will build a temple for the Lord and a royal palace for himself.

13I have now sent Huram-abi, a skillful man who has understanding.

14He is the son of a woman from the daughters of Dan. His father is a man of Tyre. He knows how to work with gold, silver, bronze, iron, stone, and wood, with purple, blue, crimson yarn, and fine linen. He knows how to do all kinds of engraving and to execute any design that may be given him. I have sent him to be with your artisans and the artisans of my lord, your father David.

15Now, let my lord send the wheat, barley, oil, and wine to his servants as promised.

16We will cut logs from Lebanon, as many as you need, and bring them to you as rafts by sea to Joppa. You can then take them up to Jerusalem.
