2Ch 2:4

2Ch 2:4Behold, I am about to build a house for the name of the LORD my God, to dedicate it to him, and to burn before him incense of sweet spices, and for the continual show bread, and for the burnt offerings morning and evening, on the Shabbatot, and on the new moons, and on the set feasts of the LORD our God. This is an ordinance forever to Yisra'el.

2Ch 2:5

2Ch 2:5The house which I build is great; for great is our God above all gods.

2Ch 2:6

2Ch 2:6But who is able to build him a house, seeing heaven and the heaven of heavens can't contain him? who am I then, that I should build him a house, save only to burn incense before him?

2Ch 2:7

2Ch 2:7Now therefore send me a man skillful to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, and in iron, and in purple, and crimson, and blue, and who knows how to engrave all manner of engravings, to be with the skillful men who are with me in Yehudah and in Yerushalayim, whom David my father did provide.

2Ch 2:8

2Ch 2:8Send me also cedar trees, fir trees, and algum trees, out of Levanon; for I know that your servants know how to cut timber in Levanon: and, behold, my servants shall be with your servants,

2Ch 2:9

2Ch 2:9even to prepare me timber in abundance; for the house which I am about to build shall be great and wonderful.

2Ch 2:10

2Ch 2:10Behold, I will give to your servants, the cutters who cut timber, twenty thousand measures of beaten wheat, and twenty thousand measures of barley, and twenty thousand baths of wine, and twenty thousand baths of oil.

2Ch 2:12Huram said moreover, Blessed be the LORD, the God of Yisra'el, that made heaven and eretz, who has given to David the king a wise son, endowed with discretion and understanding, that should build a house for the LORD, and a house for his kingdom.

2Ch 2:13

2Ch 2:13Now I have sent a skillful man, endowed with understanding, of Huram my father's,

2Ch 2:14

2Ch 2:15

2Ch 2:15Now therefore the wheat and the barley, the oil and the wine, which my lord has spoken of, let him send to his servants:

2Ch 2:16

2Ch 2:16and we will cut wood out of Levanon, as much as you shall need; and we will bring it to you in floats by sea to Yafo; and you shall carry it up to Yerushalayim.
