And Solomon <H8010> determined <H0559> to build <H1129> an house <H1004> for the name <H8034> of the LORD, <H3068> and an house <H1004> for his kingdom. <H4438>
2
And Solomon <H8010> told out <H5608> threescore and ten <H7657> thousand <H0505> men <H0376> to bear burdens, <H5449> and fourscore <H8084> thousand <H0505> <H0376> to hew <H2672> in the mountain, <H2022> and three <H7969> thousand <H0505> and six <H8337> hundred <H3967> to oversee <H5329> them.
3
And Solomon <H8010> sent <H7971> to Huram <H2361> the king <H4428> of Tyre, <H6865> saying, <H0559> As thou didst deal <H6213> with David <H1732> my father, <H0001> and didst send <H7971> him cedars <H0730> to build <H1129> him an house <H1004> to dwell <H3427> therein, [even so deal with me].
4
Behold, I build <H1129> an house <H1004> to the name <H8034> of the LORD <H3068> my God, <H0430> to dedicate <H6942> [it] to him, [and] to burn <H6999> before <H6440> him sweet <H5561> incense, <H7004> and for the continual <H8548> shewbread, <H4635> and for the burnt offerings <H5930> morning <H1242> <H1242> and evening, <H6153> on the sabbaths, <H7676> and on the new moons, <H2320> and on the solemn feasts <H4150> of the LORD <H3068> our God. <H0430> This [is an ordinance] for ever <H5769> to Israel. <H3478>
5
And the house <H1004> which I build <H1129> [is] great: <H1419> for great <H1419> [is] our God <H0430> above all gods. <H0430>
6
But who is <H6113> able <H3581> to build <H1129> him an house, <H1004> seeing the heaven <H8064> and heaven <H8064> of heavens <H8064> cannot contain <H3557> him? who [am] I then, that I should build <H1129> him an house, <H1004> save only <H0518> to burn sacrifice <H6999> before <H6440> him?
7
Send <H7971> me now therefore a man <H0376> cunning <H2450> to work <H6213> in gold, <H2091> and in silver, <H3701> and in brass, <H5178> and in iron, <H1270> and in purple, <H0710> and crimson, <H3758> and blue, <H8504> and that can skill <H3045> to grave <H6605> <H6603> with the cunning men <H2450> that [are] with me in Judah <H3063> and in Jerusalem, <H3389> whom David <H1732> my father <H0001> did provide. <H3559>
8
Send <H7971> me also cedar <H0730> trees, <H6086> fir trees, <H1265> and algum <H0418> trees, out of Lebanon: <H3844> for I know <H3045> that thy servants <H5650> can skill <H3045> to cut <H3772> timber <H6086> in Lebanon; <H3844> and, behold, my servants <H5650> [shall be] with thy servants, <H5650>
9
Even to prepare <H3559> me timber <H6086> in abundance: <H7230> for the house <H1004> which I am about to build <H1129> [shall be] wonderful <H6381> great. <H1419>
10
And, behold, I will give <H5414> to thy servants, <H5650> the hewers <H2404> that cut <H3772> timber, <H6086> twenty <H6242> thousand <H0505> measures <H3734> of beaten <H4347> wheat, <H2406> and twenty <H6242> thousand <H0505> measures <H3734> of barley, <H8184> and twenty <H6242> thousand <H0505> baths <H1324> of wine, <H3196> and twenty <H6242> thousand <H0505> baths <H1324> of oil. <H8081>
11
Then Huram <H2361> the king <H4428> of Tyre <H6865> answered <H0559> in writing, <H3791> which he sent <H7971> to Solomon, <H8010> Because the LORD <H3068> hath loved <H0160> his people, <H5971> he hath made <H5414> thee king <H4428> over them.
12
Huram <H2361> said <H0559> moreover, Blessed <H1288> [be] the LORD <H3068> God <H0430> of Israel, <H3478> that made <H6213> heaven <H8064> and earth, <H0776> who hath given <H5414> to David <H1732> the king <H4428> a wise <H2450> son, <H1121> endued <H3045> with prudence <H7922> and understanding, <H0998> that might build <H1129> an house <H1004> for the LORD, <H3068> and an house <H1004> for his kingdom. <H4438>
13
And now I have sent <H7971> a cunning <H2450> man, <H0376> endued <H3045> with understanding, <H0998> of Huram <H2361> my father's, <H0001>
14
The son <H1121> of a woman <H0802> of the daughters <H1323> of Dan, <H1835> and his father <H0001> [was] a man <H0376> of Tyre, <H6876> skilful <H3045> to work <H6213> in gold, <H2091> and in silver, <H3701> in brass, <H5178> in iron, <H1270> in stone, <H0068> and in timber, <H6086> in purple, <H0713> in blue, <H8504> and in fine linen, <H0948> and in crimson; <H3758> also to grave <H6605> any manner of graving, <H6603> and to find out <H2803> every device <H4284> which shall be put <H5414> to him, with thy cunning men, <H2450> and with the cunning men <H2450> of my lord <H0113> David <H1732> thy father. <H0001>
15
Now therefore the wheat, <H2406> and the barley, <H8184> the oil, <H8081> and the wine, <H3196> which my lord <H0113> hath spoken <H0559> of, let him send <H7971> unto his servants: <H5650>
16
And we will cut <H3772> wood <H6086> out of Lebanon, <H3844> as much as thou shalt need: <H6878> and we will bring <H0935> it to thee in floats <H7513> by sea <H3220> to Joppa; <H3305> and thou shalt carry it up <H5927> to Jerusalem. <H3389>
17
And Solomon <H8010> numbered <H5608> all the strangers <H0582> <H1616> that [were] in the land <H0776> of Israel, <H3478> after <H0310> the numbering <H5610> wherewith David <H1732> his father <H0001> had numbered <H5608> them; and they were found <H4672> an hundred <H3967> and fifty <H2572> thousand <H0505> and three <H7969> thousand <H0505> and six <H8337> hundred. <H3967>
18
And he set <H6213> threescore and ten <H7657> thousand <H0505> of them [to be] bearers of burdens, <H5449> and fourscore <H8084> thousand <H0505> [to be] hewers <H2672> in the mountain, <H2022> and three <H7969> thousand <H0505> and six <H8337> hundred <H3967> overseers <H5329> to set the people <H5971> a work. <H5647>
