2And SolomonH8010 sentH7971 to HiramH2438, sayingH559, 3Thou knowestH3045 how that DavidH1732 my fatherH1 couldH3201 not buildH1129 an houseH1004 to the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 his GodH430 forH6440 the warsH4421 which were about him on every sideH5437, until the LORDH3068 putH5414 them under the solesH3709 of his feetH7272. 4But now the LORDH3068 my GodH430 hath given me restH5117 on every sideH5439, so that there is neither adversaryH7854 nor evilH7451 occurrentH6294. 5And, behold, I purposeH559 to buildH1129 an houseH1004 to the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 my GodH430, as the LORDH3068 spokeH1696 to DavidH1732 my fatherH1, sayingH559, Thy sonH1121, whom I will setH5414 upon thy throneH3678 in thy stead, he shall buildH1129 an houseH1004 to my nameH8034.1 6Now therefore commandH6680 thou that they hewH3772 me cedar treesH730 out of LebanonH3844; and my servantsH5650 shall be with thy servantsH5650: and to thee will I giveH5414 hireH7939 for thy servantsH5650 according to all that thou shalt appointH559: for thou knowestH3045 that there is not among us anyH376 that hast skillH3045 to hewH3772 timberH6086 like the SidoniansH6722.2 7And it came to pass, when HiramH2438 heardH8085 the wordsH1697 of SolomonH8010, that he rejoicedH8055 greatlyH3966, and saidH559, BlessedH1288 be the LORDH3068 this dayH3117, who hath givenH5414 to DavidH1732 a wiseH2450 sonH1121 over this greatH7227 peopleH5971. 8And HiramH2438 sentH7971 to SolomonH8010, sayingH559, I have consideredH8085 the things which thou sentestH7971 to me for: and I will performH6213 all thy desireH2656 concerning timberH6086 of cedarH730, and concerning timberH6086 of firH1265.3 9My servantsH5650 shall bring them downH3381 from LebanonH3844 to the seaH3220: and I will conveyH7760 them by seaH3220 in floatsH1702 to the placeH4725 that thou shalt appointH7971 me, and will cause them to be dischargedH5310 there, and thou shalt receiveH5375 them : and thou shalt accomplishH6213 my desireH2656, in givingH5414 foodH3899 for my householdH1004.4
