2 Chronicles 2:7-14

7Now 1send me a skilled man to work in gold, silver, brass and iron, and in purple, crimson and violet fabrics, and who knows how to make engravings, to work with the skilled men 2 3whom I have in Judah and Jerusalem, whom David my father provided. 8 4Send me also cedar, cypress and algum timber from Lebanon, for I know that your servants know how to cut timber of Lebanon; and indeed 5my servants will work with your servants, 9to prepare timber in abundance for me, for the house which I am about to build will be great and wonderful. 10Now behold, 6I will give to your servants, the woodsmen who cut the timber, 20,000 7kors of crushed wheat and 20,000 8kors of barley, and 20,000 baths of wine and 20,000 baths of oil.”

11Then Huram, king of Tyre, 9answered in a letter sent to Solomon: “10Because the Lord loves His people, He has made you king over them.” 12Then Huram 11continued, “Blessed be 12the Lord, the God of Israel, who has made heaven and earth, who has given King David a wise son, 13endowed with discretion and understanding, 14who will build a house for the Lord and a 15royal palace for himself.

13“Now I am sending Huram-abi, a skilled man, 16endowed with understanding, 14 17the son of a 18Danite woman and 19a Tyrian father, who knows how to work in gold, silver, bronze, iron, stone and wood, and in purple, violet, linen and crimson fabrics, and who knows how to make all kinds of engravings and to 20execute any design which may be assigned to him, to work with your skilled men and with 21those of my lord David your father.
