1 Now|strong="H5921" Solomon|strong="H8010" purposed to|strong="H5921" build a|strong="H3068" house for|strong="H5921" the|strong="H5921" name of|strong="H2022" Jehovah|strong="H3068", and|strong="H3967" a|strong="H3068" house for|strong="H5921" his|strong="H5921" kingdom.
2 And|strong="H7971" Solomon|strong="H8010" counted 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" a|strong="H3068" house|strong="H1004" to|strong="H3478" dwell therein, even so deal with me.
4 Behold, I|strong="H3588" am about|strong="H3605" to|strong="H1004" build|strong="H1129" a|strong="H3068" house|strong="H1004" for|strong="H3588" the|strong="H3605" name of|strong="H1004" Jehovah|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 showbread, 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" Jehovah|strong="H3068" our|strong="H3605" God. This|strong="H3588" is|strong="H3605" an ordinance forever|strong="H3605" 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" a|strong="H3068" house, seeing 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" a|strong="H3068" 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" skillful|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" knoweth|strong="H3045" how|strong="H3588" to|strong="H7971" grave all manner of gravings, to be with|strong="H5973" the|strong="H3588" skillful|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.
8 Send me|strong="H3559" also|strong="H3588" cedar trees|strong="H6086", fir trees|strong="H6086", and|strong="H1419" algum trees|strong="H6086", out|strong="H1419" of|strong="H1004" Lebanon; for|strong="H3588" I|strong="H3588" know that|strong="H3588" thy|strong="H3559" servants know how|strong="H3588" to|strong="H1004" cut timber|strong="H6086" in|strong="H1004" Lebanon. And|strong="H1419", behold, my|strong="H3588" servants shall|strong="H1004" be|strong="H6086" with|strong="H1004" thy|strong="H3559" servants,
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" great and|strong="H6242" wonderful.
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" Jehovah|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" Jehovah|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 a|strong="H3068" house for|strong="H7971" Jehovah|strong="H3068", and|strong="H7971" a|strong="H3068" 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" skillful|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, skillful 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" skillful men|strong="H5650", and|strong="H7971" with|strong="H7971" the|strong="H7971" skillful 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" sojourners 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 a|strong="H3068" hundred|strong="H3967" and|strong="H3967" fifty thousand and|strong="H3967" three|strong="H7969" thousand and|strong="H3967" six|strong="H8337" hundred|strong="H3967".
