1 Kings 5:5-6

5And, behold, I purpose to build an house unto the name of Yhwh my God, as Yhwh spake unto David my father, saying, Thy son, whom I will set upon thy throne in thy room, he shall build an house unto my name.1

6Now therefore command thou that they hew me cedar trees out of Lebanon; and my servants shall be with thy servants: and unto thee will I give hire for thy servants according to all that thou shalt appoint: for thou knowest that there is not among us any that can skill to hew timber like unto the Sidonians.2
