1 Kings 5:2-6

2And SolomonH8010 sent to Hiram, saying,

3Thou knowest that David my father could not build a house unto the name of Jehovah his 1God, because of the wars which were about him on every side, until Jehovah put them under the soles of his feet.

4But now Jehovah my 2God has given me rest on every side: there is neither adversary nor evil event.

5And behold, I purpose to build a house unto the name of Jehovah my 3God, as Jehovah spoke to David my father saying, Thy son, whom I will set upon thy throne in thy stead, he shall build a house unto my name.

6And now command that they hew me cedar-trees out of Lebanon; and my servants shall beH1961 with thy servants; and I will give thee hire for thy servants according to all that thou shalt say; for thou knowest that there isH1961 not among us any that are experienced in cutting timber like to the Zidonians.
