1 Kings 5:2-6

2And SolomonH8010 sent to Hiram, saying,

3Thou knowest how that David my father could not build an house for the name of the LORD his God for the wars which were about him on every side, until the LORD put them under the soles of his feet.

4But nowH1961 the LORD my God hath given meH1961 restH1961 on everyH3605 sideH5439; there is neither adversary, nor evil occurrent.

5And, behold, I purpose to build an house for the name of the LORD my God, as the LORD spake unto DavidH3117 my father, saying, Thy son, whom I will setH3427 uponH3427 thy throne in thy room, he shall build the house for my name.

6NowH1961 therefore command thou that they hew meH1961 cedar trees outH8147 of Lebanon; and my servants shall be with thy servants; and I will giveH1961 thee hire for thy servants according to allH505 that thou shalt say: for thou knowest that there is notH1961 among us anyH1961 that canH8147 skill to hew timber like unto the Zidonians.
