Chapter 2
And
Solomon
determined
to
build
an
house
for
the
Name
of
the
Lord,
and
an
house
for
his
kingdome.
2
And
Solomon
told
out
threescore
and
tenne
thousand
men
to
beare
burdens,
and
fourescore
thousand
to
hewe
in
the
mountaine,
and
three
thousand
and
sixe
hundred
to
ouersee
them.
3
And
Solomon
sent
to
Huram
the
king
of
Tyre,
saying,
As
thou
diddest
deale
with
Dauid
my
father,
and
diddest
send
him
Cedars
to
builde
him
an
house
to
dwell
therein,
euen
so
deale
with
me.
4
Behold,
I
build
an
house
to
the
name
of
the
Lord
my
God,
to
dedicate
it
to
him,
and
to
burne
before
him
sweet
incense,
and
for
the
continuall
shew-bread,
and
for
the
burnt
offrings
morning
and
euening,
on
the
Sabbaths,
and
on
the
new
Moones,
and
on
the
solemne
feasts
of
the
Lord
our
God.
This
is
an
ordinance
for
euer
to
Israel.
5
And
the
house
which
I
build,
is
great:
for
great
is
our
God
aboue
all
gods.
6
But
who
is
able
to
build
him
an
house,
seeing
the
heauen,
and
heauen
of
heauens
cannot
conteine
him?
Who
am
I
then
that
I
should
build
him
an
house?
Saue
onely
to
burne
sacrifice
before
him?
7
Send
me
now
therefore
a
man,
cunning
to
worke
in
gold
and
in
siluer,
and
in
brasse,
and
in
yron,
and
in
purple
and
crimson,
and
blew,
and
that
can
skil
to
graue,
with
the
cunning
men
that
are
with
me
in
Iudah,
and
in
Ierusalem,
whome
Dauid
my
father
did
prouide.
8
Send
me
also
Cedar
trees,
firre
trees,
and
Algume
trees,
out
of
Lebanon:
(for
I
know
that
thy
seruants
can
skill
to
cut
timber
in
Lebanon)
and
behold,
my
seruants
shalbe
with
thy
seruants,
9
Euen
to
prepare
me
timber
in
abundance:
for
the
house
which
I
am
about
to
build,
shalbe
wonderfull
great.
10
And
behold,
I
will
giue
to
thy
seruants
the
hewers
that
cut
timber,
twentie
thousand
measures
of
beaten
wheat,
and
twentie
thousand
measures
of
barley,
and
twentie
thousand
baths
of
wine,
and
twentie
thousand
baths
of
oyle.
11
Then
Huram
the
king
of
Tyre
answered
in
writing,
which
hee
sent
to
Solomon:
Because
the
Lord
hath
loued
his
people,
hee
hath
made
thee
King
ouer
them.
12
Huram
said
moreouer,
Blessed
be
the
Lord
God
of
Israel
that
made
heauen
and
earth,
who
hath
giuen
to
Dauid
the
King
a
wise
sonne,
indued
with
prudence
and
vnderstanding,
that
might
build
an
house
for
the
Lord,
and
an
house
for
his
kingdome.
13
And
now
I
haue
sent
a
cunning
man
(indued
with
vnderstanding)
of
Huram
my
fathers:
14
The
sonne
of
a
woman
of
the
daughters
of
Dan,
and
his
father
was
a
man
of
Tyre,
skilfull
to
worke
in
golde
and
in
siluer,
in
brasse,
in
yron,
in
stone
and
in
timber,
in
purple,
in
blew,
and
in
fine
linen,
and
in
crimson:
also
to
graue
any
maner
of
grauing,
and
to
find
out
euery
deuice
which
shall
be
put
to
him,
with
thy
cunning
men,
and
with
the
cunning
men
of
my
lord
Dauid
thy
father.
15
Now
therefore
the
wheate
and
the
barley,
the
oyle
and
the
wine,
which
my
lord
hath
spoken
of,
let
him
send
vnto
his
seruants:
16
And
wee
will
cut
wood
out
of
Lebanon,
as
much
as
thou
shalt
need,
and
wee
will
bring
it
to
thee
in
flotes
by
sea
to
Ioppa,
and
thou
shalt
carie
it
vp
to
Ierusalem.
17
And
Solomon
numbred
all
the
strangers
that
were
in
the
lande
of
Israel,
after
the
numbring
wherewith
Dauid
his
father
had
numbred
them:
and
they
were
found
an
hundred
and
fiftie
thousand,
and
three
thousand
and
sixe
hundred.
18
And
he
set
threescore
and
ten
thousand
of
them
to
be
bearers
of
burdens,
and
fourescore
thousand
to
be
hewers
in
the
mountaine,
and
three
thousand
and
sixe
hundred
ouerseers
to
set
the
people
a
worke.
