1 Kings 5:7-11
7When Hiram heard the words of Solomon, he greatly rejoiced; and he said, “Blessed be the Lord today, who has given to David a wise son over this great people.”
8So Hiram sent word to Solomon, saying, “I have heard the message which you sent me; I will do everything you wish concerning the cedar and juniper timber.
9My servants will bring the timbers down from Lebanon to the sea; and I will have them made into rafts to go by sea 1to the place where you 2direct me, and I will have them broken up there, and you will carry them away. Then 3you shall do what I wish, by giving food to my household.”
10So 4Hiram 5gave Solomon all that he wished of the cedar and juniper timber.
116Solomon then gave 7Hiram 8twenty thousand kors of wheat as food for his household, and 9twenty kors of pure oil; this is what Solomon would give Hiram year by year.
