1 Kings 5 :: Hebrew Names Version (HNV)

1Ki 5:1

1Ki 5:1Hiram king of Tzor sent his servants to Shlomo; for he had heard that they had anointed him king in the room of his father: for Hiram was ever a lover of David.

1Ki 5:2

1Ki 5:2Shlomo sent to Hiram, saying,

1Ki 5:3

1Ki 5:3You know how that David my father could not build a house for the name of the LORD his God for the wars which were about him on every side, until the LORD put them under the soles of his feet.

1Ki 5:4

1Ki 5:4But now the LORD my God has given me rest on every side; there is neither adversary, nor evil occurrence.

1Ki 5:5

1Ki 5:5Behold, I purpose to build a house for the name of the LORD my God, as the LORD spoke to David my father, saying, Your son, whom I will set on your throne in your room, he shall build the house for my name.

1Ki 5:6

1Ki 5:6Now therefore command you that they cut me cedar trees out of Levanon; and my servants shall be with your servants; and I will give you hire for your servants according to all that you shall say: for you know that there is not among us any who knows how to cut timber like the Tzidonim.

1Ki 5:7

1Ki 5:7It happened, when Hiram heard the words of Shlomo, that he rejoiced greatly, and said, Blessed be the LORD this day, who has given to David a wise son over this great people.

1Ki 5:8

1Ki 5:8Hiram sent to Shlomo, saying, I have heard the message which you have sent to me: I will do all your desire concerning timber of cedar, and concerning timber of fir.

1Ki 5:9

1Ki 5:9My servants shall bring them down from Levanon to the sea; and I will make them into rafts to go by sea to the place that you shall appoint me, and will cause them to be broken up there, and you shall receive them; and you shall accomplish my desire, in giving food for my household.

1Ki 5:10

1Ki 5:10So Hiram gave Shlomo timber of cedar and timber of fir according to all his desire.

1Ki 5:11

1Ki 5:11Shlomo gave Hiram twenty thousand measures of wheat for food to his household, and twenty measures of pure oil: thus gave Shlomo to Hiram year by year.

1Ki 5:12

1Ki 5:12The LORD gave Shlomo wisdom, as he promised him; and there was shalom between Hiram and Shlomo; and they two made a league together.
