11Then HuramH2361 the kingH4428 of TyreH6865 answeredH559 in writingH3791, which he sentH7971 to SolomonH8010, because YhwhH3068 hath lovedH160 his peopleH5971, he hath madeH5414 thee kingH4428 over them. 12HuramH2361 saidH559 moreover, BlessedH1288 be YhwhH3068 GodH430 of IsraelH3478, that madeH6213 heavenH8064 and earthH776, who hath givenH5414 to DavidH1732 the kingH4428 a wiseH2450 sonH1121, enduedH3045 with prudenceH7922 and understandingH998, that might buildH1129 an houseH1004 for YhwhH3068, and an houseH1004 for his kingdomH4438.1 13And now I have sentH7971 a cunningH2450 manH376, enduedH3045 with understandingH998, of HuramH2361 my father’sH1, 14The sonH1121 of a womanH802 of the daughtersH1323 of DanH1835, and his fatherH1 was a manH376 of TyreH6876, skilfulH3045 to workH6213 in goldH2091, and in silverH3701, in brassH5178, in ironH1270, in stoneH68, and in timberH6086, in purpleH713, in blueH8504, and in fine linenH948, and in crimsonH3758; also to graveH6605 any manner of gravingH6603, and to find outH2803 every deviceH4284 which shall be putH5414 to him, with thy cunning menH2450, and with the cunning menH2450 of my lordH113 DavidH1732 thy fatherH1. 15Now therefore the wheatH2406, and the barleyH8184, the oilH8081, and the wineH3196, which my lordH113 hath spokenH559 of, let him sendH7971 unto his servantsH5650: 16And we will cutH3772 woodH6086 out of LebanonH3844, as much as thou shalt needH6878: and we will bringH935 it to thee in floatsH7513 by seaH3220 to JoppaH3305; and thou shalt carry it upH5927 to JerusalemH3389.23
