Chapter 5
And
Hiram
king
of
Tyre
sent
his
servants
unto
Solomon;
for
he
had
heard
that
they
had
anointed
him
king
in
the
room
of
his
father:
for
Hiram
was
ever
a
lover
of
David.
2
And
Solomon
sent
to
Hiram,
saying,
3
Thou
knowest
how
that
David
my
father
could
not
build
an
house
unto
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.
4
But
now
the
Lord
my
God
hath
given
me
rest
on
every
side,
so
that
there
is
neither
adversary
nor
evil
occurrent.
5
And,
behold,
I
purpose
to
build
an
house
unto
the
name
of
the
Lord
my
God,
as
the
Lord
spake
unto
David
my
father,
saying,
Thy
son,
whom
I
will
set
upon
thy
throne
in
thy
room,
he
shall
build
an
house
unto
my
name.
6
Now
therefore
command
thou
that
they
hew
me
cedar
trees
out
of
Lebanon;
and
my
servants
shall
be
with
thy
servants:
and
unto
thee
will
I
give
hire
for
thy
servants
according
to
all
that
thou
shalt
appoint:
for
thou
knowest
that
there
is
not
among
us
any
that
can
skill
to
hew
timber
like
unto
the
Sidonians.
7
And
it
came
to
pass,
when
Hiram
heard
the
words
of
Solomon,
that
he
rejoiced
greatly,
and
said,
Blessed
be
the
Lord
this
day,
which
hath
given
unto
David
a
wise
son
over
this
great
people.
8
And
Hiram
sent
to
Solomon,
saying,
I
have
considered
the
things
which
thou
sentest
to
me
for:
and
I
will
do
all
thy
desire
concerning
timber
of
cedar,
and
concerning
timber
of
fir.
9
My
servants
shall
bring
them
down
from
Lebanon
unto
the
sea:
and
I
will
convey
them
by
sea
in
floats
unto
the
place
that
thou
shalt
appoint
me,
and
will
cause
them
to
be
discharged
there,
and
thou
shalt
receive
them:
and
thou
shalt
accomplish
my
desire,
in
giving
food
for
my
household.
10
So
Hiram
gave
Solomon
cedar
trees
and
fir
trees
according
to
all
his
desire.
11
And
Solomon
gave
Hiram
twenty
thousand
measures
of
wheat
for
food
to
his
household,
and
twenty
measures
of
pure
oil:
thus
gave
Solomon
to
Hiram
year
by
year.
12
And
the
Lord
gave
Solomon
wisdom,
as
he
promised
him:
and
there
was
peace
between
Hiram
and
Solomon;
and
they
two
made
a
league
together.
13
And
king
Solomon
raised
a
levy
out
of
all
Israel;
and
the
levy
was
thirty
thousand
men.
14
And
he
sent
them
to
Lebanon,
ten
thousand
a
month
by
courses:
a
month
they
were
in
Lebanon,
and
two
months
at
home:
and
Adoniram
was
over
the
levy.
15
And
Solomon
had
threescore
and
ten
thousand
that
bare
burdens,
and
fourscore
thousand
hewers
in
the
mountains;
16
Beside
the
chief
of
Solomon’s
officers
which
were
over
the
work,
three
thousand
and
three
hundred,
which
ruled
over
the
people
that
wrought
in
the
work.
17
And
the
king
commanded,
and
they
brought
great
stones,
costly
stones,
and
hewed
stones,
to
lay
the
foundation
of
the
house.
18
And
Solomon’s
builders
and
Hiram’s
builders
did
hew
them,
and
the
stonesquarers:
so
they
prepared
timber
and
stones
to
build
the
house.
