2 Chronicles 2:3-4

3Solomon wrote this letter to King Huram of Tyre: ‘You helped my father King David when you sent him wood from cedar trees to build his palace. Please help me now.

4I am ready to build a temple to give honour to the Lord my God. It will be a holy place that belongs to him. We Israelites will burn sweet incense for him there. We will put special bread there every day. We will burn sacrifices to the Lord our God every morning and every evening. We will also do that on Sabbath days, on New Moon festival days and on other special days that God has chosen. He has told us to do this for all time.
