2 Chronicles 2:3-7

3And SolomonH8010 sentH7971 to HuramH2361 the kingH4428 of TyreH6865, sayingH559, As thou didst dealH6213 with DavidH1732 my fatherH1, and didst sendH7971 him cedarsH730 to buildH1129 him an houseH1004 to dwellH3427 in, even so deal with me .1

4Behold, I buildH1129 an houseH1004 to the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068 my GodH430, to dedicateH6942 it to him, and to burnH6999 beforeH6440 him sweetH5561 incenseH7004, and for the continualH8548 showbreadH4635, and for the burnt offeringsH5930 morningH1242 and eveningH6153, on the sabbathsH7676, and on the new moonsH2320, and on the solemn feastsH4150 of the LORDH3068 our GodH430. This is an ordinance for everH5769 to IsraelH3478.2

5And the houseH1004 which I buildH1129 is greatH1419: for greatH1419 is our GodH430 above all godsH430.

6But who is ableH6113H3581 to buildH1129 him an houseH1004, seeing the heavenH8064 and heavenH8064 of heavensH8064 cannot containH3557 him? who am I then, that I should buildH1129 him an houseH1004, except onlyH518 to burn sacrificeH6999 beforeH6440 him?3

7SendH7971 me now therefore a manH376 skilfulH2450 to workH6213 in goldH2091, and in silverH3701, and in brassH5178, and in ironH1270, and in purpleH710, and crimsonH3758, and blueH8504, and that hath skillH3045 to engraveH6605H6603 with the skilful menH2450 that are with me in JudahH3063 and in JerusalemH3389, whom DavidH1732 my fatherH1 providedH3559.4
