1 Kings 5:8-18

8So HiramH2438 sentH7971 word to SolomonH8010, sayingH559, “I have heardH8085 the message whichH834 you have sentH7971 me; I will doH6213 1whatH2656 you desireH2656 concerning the cedarH730 and cypressH1265 timberH6086. 9My servantsH5650 will bringH3381 them downH3381 from LebanonH3844 to the seaH3220; and I will makeH7760 them into raftsH1702 to go by seaH3220 2to the placeH4725 whereH834 you 3directH7971 me, and I will have them brokenH5310 up thereH8033, and you shall carryH5375 them away. Then 4you shall accomplishH6213 my desireH2656 by givingH5414 foodH3899 to my householdH1004.” 10So 5HiramH2438 6gaveH5414 SolomonH8010 7as muchH3605 as he desiredH2656 of the cedarH730 and cypressH1265 timberH6086. 118SolomonH8010 then gaveH5414 HiramH2438 20,000H6242H505 9korsH3734 of wheatH2406 as foodH4361 for his householdH1004, and twentyH6242 10korsH3734 of beatenH3795 oilH8081; thusH3541 SolomonH8010 would giveH5414 HiramH2438 yearH8141 by yearH8141. 1211The LordH3068 gaveH5414 wisdomH2451 to SolomonH8010, justH3512 as He 12promisedH1696 him; and there was peaceH7965 betweenH996 HiramH2438 and SolomonH8010, and the twoH8147 of them madeH3772 a covenantH1285.

13Now 13KingH4428 SolomonH8010 14leviedH5927 forcedH4522 laborersH4522 from allH3605 IsraelH3478; and the forcedH4522 laborersH4522 15numberedH1961 30,000H7970H505 menH376. 14He sentH7971 them to LebanonH3844, 10,000H6235H505 a monthH2320 in relaysH2487; they were in LebanonH3844 a monthH2320 and twoH8147 monthsH2320 at homeH1004. And 16AdoniramH141 was overH5921 the forcedH4522 laborersH4522. 15Now 17SolomonH8010 hadH1961 70,000H7657H505 18transportersH5449H5375, and 80,000H8084H505 hewersH2672 of stone in the mountainsH2022, 1619besidesH905H4480 Solomon’sH8010 3,300H7969H505H3967 chiefH8269 deputiesH5324 whoH834 were overH5921 the 20projectH4399 and who ruledH7287 over the peopleH5971 who were doingH6213 the workH4399. 17Then 21the kingH4428 commandedH6680, and they quarriedH5265 greatH1419 stonesH68, costlyH3368 stonesH68, to layH3245 the foundationH3245 of the houseH1004 with cutH1496 stonesH68. 18So Solomon’sH8010 buildersH1129 and 22Hiram’sH2438 buildersH1129 and 23the GebalitesH1382 24cutH6458 them, and preparedH3559 the timbersH6086 and the stonesH68 to buildH1129 the houseH1004.
