Chapter 5
And
Hiram
king
of
Tyre
sent
his
seruants
vnto
Solomon:
(for
hee
had
heard
that
they
had
anointed
him
King
in
the
roume
of
his
father,)
for
Hiram
was
euer
a
louer
of
Dauid.
2
And
Solomon
sent
to
Hiram,
saying,
3
Thou
knowest
how
that
Dauid
my
father
could
not
build
an
house
vnto
the
Name
of
the
Lord
his
God,
for
the
warres
which
were
about
him
on
euery
side,
vntill
the
Lord
put
them
vnder
the
soles
of
his
feet.
4
But
now
the
Lord
my
God
hath
giuen
me
rest
on
euery
side,
so
that
there
is
neither
aduersary,
nor
euill
occurrent.
5
And
behold,
I
purpose
to
build
an
house
vnto
the
Name
of
the
Lord
my
God,
as
the
Lord
spake
vnto
Dauid
my
father,
saying,
Thy
sonne,
whom
I
will
set
vpon
thy
throne
in
thy
roume,
he
shall
build
an
house
vnto
my
Name.
6
Now
therefore
command
thou,
that
they
hew
me
Cedar
trees
out
of
Lebanon,
and
my
seruants
shall
bee
with
thy
seruants:
and
vnto
thee
will
I
giue
hire
for
thy
seruants,
according
to
all
that
thou
shalt
appoint:
for
thou
knowest
that
there
is
not
among
vs,
any
that
can
skill
to
hew
timber,
like
vnto
the
Sidonians.
7
And
it
came
to
passe
when
Hiram
heard
the
wordes
of
Solomon,
that
hee
reioyced
greatly,
and
said,
Blessed
be
the
Lord
this
day,
which
hath
giuen
vnto
Dauid
a
wise
sonne
ouer
this
great
people.
8
And
Hiram
sent
to
Solomon,
saying,
I
haue
considered
the
things
which
thou
sentest
to
me
for:
and
I
will
doe
all
thy
desire
concerning
timber
of
Cedar,
and
concerning
timber
of
firre.
9
My
seruants
shall
bring
them
downe
from
Lebanon
vnto
the
Sea:
and
I
wil
conuey
them
by
sea
in
flotes,
vnto
the
place
that
thou
shalt
appoint
me,
and
will
cause
them
to
be
discharged
there,
and
thou
shalt
receiue
them:
and
thou
shalt
accomplish
my
desire,
in
giuing
food
for
my
houshold.
10
So
Hiram
gaue
Solomon
Cedar
trees,
and
Firre
trees,
according
to
all
his
desire.
11
And
Solomon
gaue
Hiram
twentie
thousand
measures
of
wheate
for
food
to
his
houshold,
and
twentie
measures
of
pure
oile:
thus
gaue
Solomon
to
Hiram
yeere
by
yeere.
12
And
the
Lord
gaue
Solomon
wisedome,
as
hee
promised
him:
and
there
was
peace
betweene
Hiram
and
Solomon,
and
they
two
made
a
league
together.
13
And
King
Solomon
raised
a
leuie
out
of
all
Israel,
and
the
leuie
was
thirtie
thousand
men.
14
And
hee
sent
them
to
Lebanon,
ten
thousand
a
moneth
by
courses:
a
moneth
they
were
in
Lebanon,
and
two
moneths
at
home:
and
Adoniram
was
ouer
the
leuie.
15
And
Solomon
had
threescore
and
ten
thousand
that
bare
burdens,
and
fourescore
thousand
hewers
in
the
mountaines:
16
Besides
the
chiefe
of
Solomons
officers
which
were
ouer
the
worke,
three
thousand
and
three
hundred,
which
ruled
ouer
the
people
that
wrought
in
the
worke.
17
And
the
king
commanded,
and
they
brought
great
stones,
costly
stones,
and
hewed
stones,
to
lay
the
foundation
of
the
house.
18
And
Solomons
builders,
and
Hirams
builders,
did
hewe
them,
and
the
stone-squarers:
so
they
prepared
timber
and
stones
to
build
the
house.
