Chapter 2
And
Solomon
determined
to
build
an
house
for
the
name
of
the
Lord,
and
an
house
for
his
kingdom.
2
And
Solomon
told
out
threescore
and
ten
thousand
men
to
bear
burdens,
and
fourscore
thousand
to
hew
in
the
mountain,
and
three
thousand
and
six
hundred
to
oversee
them.
3
And
Solomon
sent
to
Huram
the
king
of
Tyre,
saying,
As
thou
didst
deal
with
David
my
father,
and
didst
send
him
cedars
to
build
him
an
house
to
dwell
therein,
even
so
deal
with
me.
4
Behold,
I
build
an
house
to
the
name
of
the
Lord
my
God,
to
dedicate
it
to
him,
and
to
burn
before
him
sweet
incense,
and
for
the
continual
shewbread,
and
for
the
burnt
offerings
morning
and
evening,
on
the
sabbaths,
and
on
the
new
moons,
and
on
the
solemn
feasts
of
the
Lord
our
God.
This
is
an
ordinance
for
ever
to
Israel.
5
And
the
house
which
I
build
is
great:
for
great
is
our
God
above
all
gods.
6
But
who
is
able
to
build
him
an
house,
seeing
the
heaven
and
heaven
of
heavens
cannot
contain
him?
who
am
I
then,
that
I
should
build
him
an
house,
save
only
to
burn
sacrifice
before
him?
7
Send
me
now
therefore
a
man
cunning
to
work
in
gold,
and
in
silver,
and
in
brass,
and
in
iron,
and
in
purple,
and
crimson,
and
blue,
and
that
can
skill
to
grave
with
the
cunning
men
that
are
with
me
in
Judah
and
in
Jerusalem,
whom
David
my
father
did
provide.
8
Send
me
also
cedar
trees,
fir
trees,
and
algum
trees,
out
of
Lebanon:
for
I
know
that
thy
servants
can
skill
to
cut
timber
in
Lebanon;
and,
behold,
my
servants
shall
be
with
thy
servants,
9
Even
to
prepare
me
timber
in
abundance:
for
the
house
which
I
am
about
to
build
shall
be
wonderful
great.
10
And,
behold,
I
will
give
to
thy
servants,
the
hewers
that
cut
timber,
twenty
thousand
measures
of
beaten
wheat,
and
twenty
thousand
measures
of
barley,
and
twenty
thousand
baths
of
wine,
and
twenty
thousand
baths
of
oil.
11
Then
Huram
the
king
of
Tyre
answered
in
writing,
which
he
sent
to
Solomon,
Because
the
Lord
hath
loved
his
people,
he
hath
made
thee
king
over
them.
12
Huram
said
moreover,
Blessed
be
the
Lord
God
of
Israel,
that
made
heaven
and
earth,
who
hath
given
to
David
the
king
a
wise
son,
endued
with
prudence
and
understanding,
that
might
build
an
house
for
the
Lord,
and
an
house
for
his
kingdom.
13
And
now
I
have
sent
a
cunning
man,
endued
with
understanding,
of
Huram
my
father’s,
14
The
son
of
a
woman
of
the
daughters
of
Dan,
and
his
father
was
a
man
of
Tyre,
skilful
to
work
in
gold,
and
in
silver,
in
brass,
in
iron,
in
stone,
and
in
timber,
in
purple,
in
blue,
and
in
fine
linen,
and
in
crimson;
also
to
grave
any
manner
of
graving,
and
to
find
out
every
device
which
shall
be
put
to
him,
with
thy
cunning
men,
and
with
the
cunning
men
of
my
lord
David
thy
father.
15
Now
therefore
the
wheat,
and
the
barley,
the
oil,
and
the
wine,
which
my
lord
hath
spoken
of,
let
him
send
unto
his
servants:
16
And
we
will
cut
wood
out
of
Lebanon,
as
much
as
thou
shalt
need:
and
we
will
bring
it
to
thee
in
floats
by
sea
to
Joppa;
and
thou
shalt
carry
it
up
to
Jerusalem.
17
And
Solomon
numbered
all
the
strangers
that
were
in
the
land
of
Israel,
after
the
numbering
wherewith
David
his
father
had
numbered
them;
and
they
were
found
an
hundred
and
fifty
thousand
and
three
thousand
and
six
hundred.
18
And
he
set
threescore
and
ten
thousand
of
them
to
be
bearers
of
burdens,
and
fourscore
thousand
to
be
hewers
in
the
mountain,
and
three
thousand
and
six
hundred
overseers
to
set
the
people
a
work.
