1 Now|strong="H5921" Solomon|strong="H8010" purposed to|strong="H5921" build an|strong="H5921" house for|strong="H5921" the|strong="H5921" name of|strong="H2022" the|strong="H5921" LORD|strong="H3068", and|strong="H3967" an|strong="H5921" house for|strong="H5921" his|strong="H5921" kingdom.
2 And|strong="H7971" Solomon|strong="H8010" told|strong="H8010" out|strong="H7971" threescore and|strong="H7971" ten|strong="H1732" thousand men|strong="H6213" to|strong="H7971" bear|strong="H6213" burdens, and|strong="H7971" fourscore thousand men|strong="H6213" that|strong="H4428" were|strong="H1732" hewers in|strong="H3427" the|strong="H6213" mountains, and|strong="H7971" three thousand and|strong="H7971" six hundred to|strong="H7971" oversee them|strong="H7971".
3 And|strong="H3478" Solomon sent|strong="H3068" to|strong="H3478" Huram the|strong="H6440" king|strong="H5921" of|strong="H1004" Tyre, saying, As|strong="H3068" thou|strong="H6440" didst deal with|strong="H1004" David my|strong="H3068" father, and|strong="H3478" didst send him|strong="H6440" cedars to|strong="H3478" build|strong="H1129" him|strong="H6440" an|strong="H1129" house|strong="H1004" to|strong="H3478" dwell therein, even so deal with me.
4 Behold, I|strong="H3588" build|strong="H1129" an|strong="H1129" house|strong="H1004" for|strong="H3588" the|strong="H3605" name of|strong="H1004" the|strong="H3605" LORD|strong="H3068" my|strong="H3605" God, to|strong="H1004" dedicate it|strong="H3588" to|strong="H1004" him|strong="H3605", and|strong="H1419" to|strong="H1004" burn before him|strong="H3605" incense of|strong="H1004" sweet spices, and|strong="H1419" for|strong="H3588" the|strong="H3605" continual shewbread, and|strong="H1419" for|strong="H3588" the|strong="H3605" burnt offerings|strong="H3588" morning and|strong="H1419" evening, on|strong="H1004" the|strong="H3605" sabbaths, and|strong="H1419" on|strong="H1004" the|strong="H3605" new moons, and|strong="H1419" on|strong="H1004" the|strong="H3605" set|strong="H1129" feasts of|strong="H1004" the|strong="H3605" LORD|strong="H3068" our|strong="H3605" God. This|strong="H3588" is|strong="H3605" an ordinance for|strong="H3588" ever to|strong="H1004" Israel;
5 And|strong="H8064" the|strong="H6440" house|strong="H1004" which|strong="H4310" I|strong="H3588" build|strong="H1129" is|strong="H4310" great|strong="H6440": for|strong="H3588" great|strong="H6440" is|strong="H4310" our|strong="H3588" God|strong="H3808" above|strong="H6440" all|strong="H6440" gods.
6 But|strong="H6258" who|strong="H3063" is|strong="H3701" able to|strong="H7971" build|strong="H6213" him|strong="H7971" an|strong="H6213" house, seeing the|strong="H6213" heaven and|strong="H3063" the|strong="H6213" heaven of|strong="H6213" heavens cannot|strong="H3045" contain him|strong="H7971"? who|strong="H3063" am I|strong="H6258" then|strong="H6258", that|strong="H3045" I|strong="H6258" should|strong="H6213" build|strong="H6213" him|strong="H7971" an|strong="H6213" house, save only to|strong="H7971" burn incense before|strong="H5973" him|strong="H7971"?
7 Now|strong="H2009" therefore|strong="H3588" send|strong="H7971" me|strong="H7971" a|strong="H3068" man|strong="H3045" cunning|strong="H3045" to|strong="H7971" work in|strong="H5650" gold, and|strong="H7971" in|strong="H5650" silver, and|strong="H7971" in|strong="H5650" brass, and|strong="H7971" in|strong="H5650" iron, and|strong="H7971" in|strong="H5650" purple, and|strong="H7971" crimson, and|strong="H7971" blue, and|strong="H7971" that|strong="H3588" can|strong="H5650" skill|strong="H3045" to|strong="H7971" grave all manner of gravings, to be with|strong="H5973" the|strong="H3588" cunning|strong="H3045" men|strong="H5650" that|strong="H3588" are|strong="H5650" with|strong="H5973" me|strong="H7971" in|strong="H5650" Judah and|strong="H7971" in|strong="H5650" Jerusalem, whom|strong="H3588" David|strong="H5973" my|strong="H3045" father did|strong="H5650" provide.

9 even to|strong="H5414" prepare me|strong="H5414" timber|strong="H6086" in|strong="H5650" abundance: for|strong="H6086" the|strong="H5414" house which|strong="H6086" I|strong="H5414" am about|strong="H2009" to|strong="H5414" build shall|strong="H5650" be|strong="H5414" wonderful great.
10 And|strong="H3068", behold, I|strong="H5414" will|strong="H3068" give|strong="H5414" to|strong="H3068" thy|strong="H3068" servants, the|strong="H5921" hewers that|strong="H5971" cut timber, twenty thousand measures of|strong="H4428" beaten wheat, and|strong="H3068" twenty thousand measures of|strong="H4428" barley, and|strong="H3068" twenty thousand baths of|strong="H4428" wine, and|strong="H3068" twenty thousand baths of|strong="H4428" oil.
11 Then|strong="H5414" Huram|strong="H2361" the|strong="H5414" king|strong="H4428" of|strong="H1121" Tyre answered in|strong="H3478" writing|strong="H6213", which|strong="H3068" he|strong="H6213" sent|strong="H5414" to|strong="H3478" Solomon, Because|strong="H3068" the|strong="H5414" LORD|strong="H3068" loveth his|strong="H5414" people|strong="H1121", he|strong="H6213" hath|strong="H3068" made|strong="H6213" thee|strong="H5414" king|strong="H4428" over|strong="H4428" them|strong="H5414".
12 Huram|strong="H2361" said moreover, Blessed be|strong="H6258" the|strong="H3045" LORD|strong="H3068", the|strong="H3045" God|strong="H7971" of|strong="H3045" Israel, that|strong="H3045" made|strong="H3045" heaven and|strong="H7971" earth, who|strong="H3045" hath|strong="H3045" given to|strong="H7971" David|strong="H7971" the|strong="H3045" king a|strong="H3068" wise|strong="H2450" son|strong="H2450", endued|strong="H3045" with|strong="H3045" discretion and|strong="H7971" understanding, that|strong="H3045" should|strong="H2450" build an|strong="H7971" house for|strong="H7971" the|strong="H3045" LORD|strong="H3068", and|strong="H7971" an|strong="H7971" house for|strong="H7971" his|strong="H7971" kingdom.
13 And|strong="H1121" now|strong="H5414" I|strong="H5414" have|strong="H3045" sent|strong="H5414" a|strong="H3068" cunning|strong="H2803" man|strong="H2450", endued|strong="H3045" with|strong="H5973" understanding, of|strong="H1121" Huram my|strong="H5414" father|strong="H1121"’s,
14 the|strong="H7971" son of|strong="H5650" a|strong="H3068" woman of|strong="H5650" the|strong="H7971" daughters of|strong="H5650" Dan, and|strong="H7971" his|strong="H7971" father was|strong="H5650" a|strong="H3068" man of|strong="H5650" Tyre, skilful to|strong="H7971" work in|strong="H5650" gold, and|strong="H7971" in|strong="H5650" silver, in|strong="H5650" brass, in|strong="H5650" iron, in|strong="H5650" stone, and|strong="H7971" in|strong="H5650" timber, in|strong="H5650" purple, in|strong="H5650" blue, and|strong="H7971" in|strong="H5650" fine linen, and|strong="H7971" in|strong="H5650" crimson; also to|strong="H7971" grave any manner of|strong="H5650" graving, and|strong="H7971" to|strong="H7971" devise any device: that|strong="H8081" there|strong="H6258" may|strong="H3196" be|strong="H5650" a place appointed unto|strong="H7971" him|strong="H7971" with|strong="H7971" thy|strong="H7971" cunning men|strong="H5650", and|strong="H7971" with|strong="H7971" the|strong="H7971" cunning men|strong="H5650" of|strong="H5650" my|strong="H7971" lord David|strong="H7971" thy|strong="H7971" father.
15 Now|strong="H5921" therefore|strong="H5921" the|strong="H3605" wheat and|strong="H6086" the|strong="H3605" barley, the|strong="H3605" oil and|strong="H6086" the|strong="H3605" wine, which|strong="H6086" my|strong="H3605" lord hath|strong="H3389" spoken of|strong="H4480", let him|strong="H5921" send|strong="H5927" unto|strong="H5927" his|strong="H3605" servants:
16 and|strong="H3967" we|strong="H3068" will|strong="H3478" cut|strong="H3478" wood out|strong="H4672" of|strong="H3605" Lebanon, as|strong="H3605" much|strong="H3605" as|strong="H3605" thou shalt need: and|strong="H3967" we|strong="H3068" will|strong="H3478" bring|strong="H1732" it|strong="H4672" to|strong="H3478" thee|strong="H4672" in|strong="H3478" floats by|strong="H3478" sea to|strong="H3478" Joppa; and|strong="H3967" thou shalt carry it|strong="H4672" up|strong="H3605" to|strong="H3478" Jerusalem.
17 And|strong="H3967" Solomon numbered|strong="H3967" all|strong="H6213" the|strong="H6213" strangers that|strong="H5971" were|strong="H5971" in|strong="H6213" the|strong="H6213" land of|strong="H2022" Israel|strong="H5971", after|strong="H1992" the|strong="H6213" numbering wherewith David his|strong="H6213" father had|strong="H5971" numbered|strong="H3967" them|strong="H1992"; and|strong="H3967" they|strong="H1992" were|strong="H5971" found an|strong="H6213" hundred|strong="H3967" and|strong="H3967" fifty thousand and|strong="H3967" three|strong="H7969" thousand and|strong="H3967" six|strong="H8337" hundred|strong="H3967".
18 And he set threescore, and ten thousand of them to bear burdens, and fourscore thousand that were hewers in the mountains, and three thousand and six hundred overseers to set the people awork.
