1 Kings 5:2-9

2Then 1SolomonH8010 sentH7971 word to HiramH2438, sayingH559, 3“You knowH3045 that 2DavidH1732 my fatherH1 wasH3201 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 securedH5117 me restH5117 on everyH5439 sideH5439; thereH369 isH369 neitherH369 adversaryH7854 norH369 4misfortuneH6294H7451. 5So beholdH2009, 5I 6intendH559 to buildH1129 a houseH1004 for the nameH8034 of the LordH3068 my GodH430, justH3512 asH3512 the LordH3068 spokeH1696 to DavidH1732 my fatherH1, sayingH559, ‘Your sonH1121, whomH834 I will putH5414 on your throneH3678 inH8478 your placeH8478, he will buildH1129 the houseH1004 for My nameH8034.’ 6NowH6258 then, issueH6680 ordersH6680 that they cutH3772 7cedarsH730 from LebanonH3844 for me, and my servantsH5650 will be with your servantsH5650; and I will giveH5414 you wagesH7939 for your servantsH5650 in accordance with allH3605 that you sayH559, for you yourselfH859 knowH3045 that thereH369 isH369 noH369 oneH376 among us who knowsH3045 howH3045 to cutH3772 timberH6086 like the SidoniansH6722.”

7When HiramH2438 heardH8085 the wordsH1697 of SolomonH8010, he greatlyH3966 rejoicedH8055; and he saidH559, “BlessedH1288 be the LordH3068 todayH3117, whoH834 has givenH5414 to DavidH1732 a wiseH2450 sonH1121 overH5921 thisH2088 greatH7227 peopleH5971.” 8So HiramH2438 sentH7971 word to SolomonH8010, sayingH559, “I have heardH8085 the message whichH834 you sentH7971 me; I will doH6213 everythingH3605 you wishH2656 concerning the cedarH730 and juniperH1265 timberH6086. 9My servantsH5650 will bringH3381 the timbers downH3381 from LebanonH3844 to the seaH3220; and I will have them madeH7760 into raftsH1702 to go by seaH3220 8to the placeH4725 whereH834 you 9directH7971 me, and I will have them brokenH5310 upH5310 thereH8033, and you will carryH5375 them away. Then 10you shall doH6213 whatH2656 I wishH2656, by givingH5414 foodH3899 to my householdH1004.”
