2Then 1SolomonH8010 sentH7971 word to HiramH2438, sayingH559, 3“You knowH3045 that 2DavidH1732 my fatherH1 was unableH3808H3201 to buildH1129 a houseH1004 for the nameH8034 of the LordH3068 his GodH430 becauseH4480H6440 of the warsH4421 whichH834 surroundedH5437 him, untilH5704 the LordH3068 putH5414 them underH8478 the solesH3709 of his feetH7272. 4But nowH6258 3the LordH3068 my GodH430 has givenH5117 me restH5117 on everyH5439 sideH5439; thereH369 is neitherH369 adversaryH7854 norH369 4misfortuneH6294H7451. 5BeholdH2009, 5I 6intendH559 to buildH1129 a houseH1004 for the nameH8034 of the LordH3068 my GodH430, as the LordH3068 spokeH1696 to DavidH1732 my fatherH1, sayingH559, ‘Your sonH1121, whomH834 I will setH5414 on your throneH3678 in your placeH8478, he will buildH1129 the houseH1004 for My nameH8034.’ 6NowH6258 therefore, commandH6680 that they cutH3772 for me 7cedarsH730 from LebanonH3844, and my servantsH5650 will be with your servantsH5650; and I will giveH5414 you wagesH7939 for your servantsH5650 according to allH3605 that you sayH559, for you knowH3045 that thereH369 is noH369 oneH376 among us who knowsH3045 how to cutH3772 timberH6086 like the SidoniansH6722.”
