2 Chronicles 2:7-14

7Now 1send me a skilled man to work in gold, silver, brass, iron, and in purple, crimson, and violet fabrics, one who knows how to make engravings, to work with the skilled workers 2 3whom I have in Judah and Jerusalem, whom my father David provided. 8 4Send me also cedar, juniper, 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 your servants, the woodsmen who cut the timber, 7twenty thousand kors of crushed wheat, twenty thousand kors of barley, 8twenty thousand baths of wine, and twenty thousand 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 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 then, 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 is assigned to him, to work with your skilled workers and with 21those of my lord, your father David.
