Solomon Will Build a Temple and a Palace

(1Ki 5:1–18 )

[fn]Now Solomon^H8010 [fn]decided^H559 to build^H1129 a house^H1004 for the name^H8034 of the LORD^H3068, and a [fn]royal^H4438 palace^H1004 for himself.

2Ch 2:2

2Ch 2:2 [fn]So Solomon [fn]assigned seventy thousand men to carry loads, eighty thousand men to quarry stone in the mountains, and 3,600 to supervise them.

2Ch 2:3

Then Solomon^H8010 sent^H7971 word to [fn]Huram^H2361 the king^H4428 of Tyre^H6865, saying^H559, “As you dealt^H6213 with my father^H1 David^H1732 and sent^H7971 him cedars^H730 to build^H1129 him a house^H1004 to live^H3427 in, do it for me.

2Ch 2:4

2Ch 2:4“Behold, I am about to build a house for the name of the LORD my God, dedicating it to Him, to burn fragrant incense before Him and to set out the showbread continually, and to offer burnt offerings morning and evening, on Sabbaths, on new moons, and on the appointed feasts of the LORD our God. This is to be done in Israel forever.

2Ch 2:5

2Ch 2:5“The house which I am about to build will be great, for our God is greater than all the gods.

2Ch 2:6

2Ch 2:6“But who is able to build a house for Him, since the heavens and the highest heavens cannot contain Him? And who am I, that I should build a house for Him, except to [fn]burn incense before Him?

2Ch 2:7

2Ch 2:7“Now send me a skilled man to work in gold, silver, brass, iron, and in purple, crimson, and violet fabrics, one who knows how to make engravings, to work with the skilled workers [fn]whom I have in Judah and Jerusalem, whom my father David provided.

2Ch 2:8

2Ch 2:8“Send me also cedar, juniper, and algum timber from Lebanon, for I know that your servants know how to cut timber of Lebanon; and indeed my servants will work with your servants,

2Ch 2:9

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

2Ch 2:10

2Ch 2:10“Now behold, I will give your servants, the woodsmen who cut the timber, [fn]twenty thousand kors of crushed wheat, twenty thousand kors of barley, [fn]twenty thousand baths of wine, and twenty thousand baths of oil.”

2Ch 2:11

Then Huram^H2361, king^H4428 of Tyre^H6865, [fn]answered^H559 in a letter^H3791 sent^H7971 to Solomon^H8010: “Because the LORD^H3068 loves^H157 His people^H5971, He has made^H5414 you king^H4428 over^H5921 them.”

2Ch 2:12

2Ch 2:12Then Huram [fn]continued, “Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, who made heaven and earth, who has given King David a wise son, [fn]endowed with discretion and understanding, who will build a house for the LORD and a [fn]royal palace for himself.

2Ch 2:13

“Now^H6258 then, I am sending^H7971 Huram-abi^H2361^H1, a skilled^H2450 man^H376, [fn]endowed^H3045 with understanding^H998,

2Ch 2:14

2Ch 2:14the son of a [fn]Danite woman and [fn]a Tyrian father, who knows how to work in gold, silver, bronze, iron, stone, and wood, and in purple, violet, linen, and crimson fabrics, and who knows how to make all kinds of engravings and to [fn]execute any design which is assigned to him, to work with your skilled workers and with [fn]those of my lord, your father David.

2Ch 2:15

2Ch 2:15“Now then, let my lord send his servants wheat and barley, oil and wine, of which he has spoken.

2Ch 2:16

2Ch 2:16“We will cut whatever timber you need from Lebanon and bring it to you as rafts by sea to Joppa, so that you may carry it up to Jerusalem.”

2Ch 2:17

Solomon^H8010 counted^H5608 all^H3605 the foreigners^H376^H1616 who^H834 were in the land^H776 of Israel^H3478, following^H310 the [fn]census^H5610 which^H834 his father^H1 David^H1732 had [fn]taken^H5608; and 153,600^H3967^H2572^H505^H7969^H8337 were found^H4672.

2Ch 2:18
