And Hiram H2438 king H4428 of Tyre H6865 sent H7971 messengers H4397 to David, H1732 and cedar H730 trees, H6086 and carpenters, H2796 H6086 and masons: H2796 H68 and they built H1129 David H1732 an house. H1004

And David H1732 perceived H3045 that the LORD H3068 had established H3559 him king H4428 over H5921 Israel, H3478 and that he had exalted H5375 his kingdom H4467 for his people H5971 Israel's H3478 sake. H5668

And these H428 be the names H8034 of those that were born H3209 to him in Jerusalem; H3389 Shammuah, H8051 and Shobab, H7727 and Nathan, H5416 and Solomon, H8010

And Elishama, H476 and Eliada, H450 and Eliphalet. H467

And Hiram H2438 king H4428 of Tyre H6865 sent H7971 his servants H5650 to Solomon; H8010 for he had heard H8085 that they had anointed H4886 him king H4428 in the room H8478 of his father: H1 for Hiram H2438 was ever H3605 H3117 a lover H157 of David. H1732

And Hiram H2438 sent H7971 to Solomon, H8010 saying, H559 I have considered H8085 the things which H834 you sent H7971 to me for: and I will do H6213 all H3605 your desire H2656 concerning timber H6086 of cedar, H730 and concerning timber H6086 of fir. H1265

So Hiram H2438 gave H5414 Solomon H8010 cedar H730 trees H6086 and fir H1265 trees H6086 according to all H3605 his desire. H2656

And the LORD H3068 gave H5414 Solomon H8010 wisdom, H2451 as he promised H1696 him: and there was peace H7965 between H996 Hiram H2438 and Solomon; H8010 and they two H8147 made H3772 a league H1285 together.

Then Huram H2438 the king H4428 of Tyre H6865 answered H559 in writing, H3791 which he sent H7971 to Solomon, H8010 Because the LORD H3068 has loved H160 his people, H5971 he has made H5414 you king H4427 over H5921 them.

Huram H2361 said H559 moreover, Blessed H1288 be the LORD H3068 God H430 of Israel, H3478 that made H6213 heaven H8064 and earth, H776 who H834 has given H5414 to David H1732 the king H4428 a wise H2450 son, H1121 endued H3045 with prudence H7922 and understanding, H998 that might build H1129 an house H1004 for the LORD, H3068 and an house H1004 for his kingdom. H4438

And David H1732 commanded H559 to gather H3664 together the strangers H1616 that were in the land H776 of Israel; H3478 and he set H5975 masons H2672 to hew H2672 worked H1496 stones H68 to build H1129 the house H1004 of God. H430

Now H6258 therefore command H6680 you that they hew H3772 me cedar H730 trees out of Lebanon; H3844 and my servants H5650 shall be with your servants: H5650 and to you will I give H5414 hire H7939 for your servants H5650 according to all H3605 that you shall appoint: H559 for you know H3045 that there is not among us any H376 that can skill H3045 to hew H3772 timber H6086 like to the Sidonians. H6722

My servants H5650 shall bring H3381 them down H3381 from Lebanon H3844 to the sea: H3220 and I will convey H7760 them by sea H3220 in floats H1702 to the place H4725 that you shall appoint H7971 me, and will cause them to be discharged H5310 there, H8033 and you shall receive H5375 them: and you shall accomplish H6213 my desire, H2656 in giving H5414 food H3899 for my household. H1004

So Hiram H2438 gave H5414 Solomon H8010 cedar H730 trees H6086 and fir H1265 trees H6086 according to all H3605 his desire. H2656

And Solomon's H8010 builders H1129 and Hiram's H2438 builders H1129 did hew H6458 them, and the stone squarers: H1382 so they prepared H3559 timber H6086 and stones H68 to build H1129 the house. H1004

And Solomon H8010 sent H7971 to Huram H2361 the king H4428 of Tyre, H6865 saying, H559 As you did deal H6213 with David H1732 my father, H25 and did send H7971 him cedars H730 to build H1129 him an house H1004 to dwell H3427 therein, even so deal with me.

Send H7971 me also cedar H730 trees, fir H1265 trees, and algum H418 trees, out of Lebanon: H3844 for I know H3045 that your servants H5650 can skill H3045 to cut H3772 timber H6086 in Lebanon; H3844 and, behold, H2009 my servants H5650 shall be with your servants, H5650

And, behold, H2009 I will give H5414 to your servants, H5650 the hewers H2404 that cut H3772 timber, H6086 twenty H6242 thousand H7239 H505 measures H3734 of beaten H4347 wheat, H2406 and twenty H6242 thousand H7239 H505 measures H3734 of barley, H8184 and twenty H6242 thousand H7239 H505 baths H1324 of wine, H3196 and twenty H6242 thousand H7239 H505 baths H1324 of oil. H8081

They gave H5414 money H3701 also to the masons, H2672 and to the carpenters; H2796 and meat, H3978 and drink, H4960 and oil, H8081 to them of Zidon, H6722 and to them of Tyre, H6876 to bring H935 cedar H730 trees H6086 from Lebanon H3844 to the sea H3220 of Joppa, H3305 according to the grant H7558 that they had of Cyrus H3566 king H4428 of Persia. H6539

Now it came H1961 to pass, as David H1732 sat H3427 in his house, H1004 that David H1732 said H559 to Nathan H5416 the prophet, H5030 See, H2009 I dwell H3427 in an house H1004 of cedars, H730 but the ark H727 of the covenant H1285 of the LORD H3068 remains under H8478 curtains. H3407

That the king H4428 said H559 to Nathan H5416 the prophet, H5030 See H7200 now, H4994 I dwell H3427 in an house H1004 of cedar, H730 but the ark H727 of God H430 dwells H3427 within H8432 curtains. H3407

But Solomon H8010 was building H1129 his own house H1004 thirteen H7969 H6240 years, H8141 and he finished H3615 all H3605 his house. H1004

And it was covered H5603 with cedar H730 above H4605 on the beams, H6763 that lay on forty H705 five H2568 pillars, H5982 fifteen H2568 H6240 in a row. H2905

And all H3605 the doors H6607 and posts H4201 were square, H7251 with the windows: H8260 and light H4237 was against H4136 H413 light H4237 in three H7969 ranks. H6471

Then he made H6213 a porch H197 for the throne H3678 where H834 H8033 he might judge, H8199 even the porch H197 of judgment: H4941 and it was covered H5603 with cedar H730 from one side of the floor H7172 to the other.

All H3605 these H428 were of costly H3368 stones, H68 according to the measures H4060 of hewed H1496 stones, H1496 sawed H1641 with saws, H4050 within H1004 and without, H2351 even from the foundation H4527 to the coping, H2947 and so on H5704 the outside H2351 toward H5704 the great H1419 court. H2691

And above H4605 were costly H3368 stones, H68 after the measures H4060 of hewed H1496 stones, H1496 and cedars. H730

Woe H1945 to him that builds H1129 his house H1004 by unrighteousness, H3808 H6664 and his chambers H5944 by wrong; H3808 H4941 that uses his neighbor's H7453 service H5647 without H2600 wages, H2600 and gives H5414 him not for his work; H6467

Shall you reign, H4427 because H3588 you close H8474 yourself in cedar? H730 did not your father H1 eat H398 and drink, H8354 and do H6213 judgment H4941 and justice, H6666 and then H227 it was well H2896 with him?
