Context of 2 Chronicles 2:10
8“Send me also cedar, juniper and algum logs from Lebanon, for I know that your servants are skilled in cutting timber there. My servants will work with yours 9to provide me with plenty of lumber, because the temple I build must be large and magnificent. I will give your servants, the woodsmen who cut the timber, twenty thousand cors of ground wheat, twenty thousand cors of barley, twenty thousand baths of wine and twenty thousand baths of olive oil.” 11Hiram king of Tyre replied by letter to Solomon: “Because the Lord loves his people, he has made you their king.” 12And Hiram added: “Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, who made heaven and earth!
