And Hiram H2438 king H4428 of Tyre H6865 sent H7971 his servants H5650 to Solomon; H8010 for he had heard H8085 that they had anointed H4886 him king H4428 in the room H8478 of his father: H1 for Hiram H2438 was ever H3605 H3117 a lover H157 of David. H1732

And Solomon H8010 sent H7971 to Hiram, H2438 saying, H559

And Hiram H2438 sent H7971 to Solomon, H8010 saying, H559 I have considered H8085 the things which H834 you sent H7971 to me for: and I will do H6213 all H3605 your desire H2656 concerning timber H6086 of cedar, H730 and concerning timber H6086 of fir. H1265

My servants H5650 shall bring H3381 them down H3381 from Lebanon H3844 to the sea: H3220 and I will convey H7760 them by sea H3220 in floats H1702 to the place H4725 that you shall appoint H7971 me, and will cause them to be discharged H5310 there, H8033 and you shall receive H5375 them: and you shall accomplish H6213 my desire, H2656 in giving H5414 food H3899 for my household. H1004

Now Hiram H2438 king H4428 of Tyre H6865 sent H7971 messengers H4397 to David, H1732 and timber H6086 of cedars, H730 with masons H2796 H7023 and carpenters, H2796 H6086 to build H1129 him an house. H1004

That the king H4428 said H559 to Nathan H5416 the prophet, H5030 See H7200 now, H4994 I dwell H3427 in an house H1004 of cedar, H730 but the ark H727 of God H430 dwells H3427 within H8432 curtains. H3407

But Solomon H8010 was building H1129 his own house H1004 thirteen H7969 H6240 years, H8141 and he finished H3615 all H3605 his house. H1004

And it was covered H5603 with cedar H730 above H4605 on the beams, H6763 that lay on forty H705 five H2568 pillars, H5982 fifteen H2568 H6240 in a row. H2905

And all H3605 the doors H6607 and posts H4201 were square, H7251 with the windows: H8260 and light H4237 was against H4136 H413 light H4237 in three H7969 ranks. H6471

Then he made H6213 a porch H197 for the throne H3678 where H834 H8033 he might judge, H8199 even the porch H197 of judgment: H4941 and it was covered H5603 with cedar H730 from one side of the floor H7172 to the other.

All H3605 these H428 were of costly H3368 stones, H68 according to the measures H4060 of hewed H1496 stones, H1496 sawed H1641 with saws, H4050 within H1004 and without, H2351 even from the foundation H4527 to the coping, H2947 and so on H5704 the outside H2351 toward H5704 the great H1419 court. H2691

And above H4605 were costly H3368 stones, H68 after the measures H4060 of hewed H1496 stones, H1496 and cedars. H730

I made me great H1431 works; H4639 I built H1129 me houses; H1004 I planted H5193 me vineyards: H3754

I made H6213 me pools H1295 of water, H4325 to water H8248 therewith the wood H3293 that brings H6779 forth H6779 trees: H6086

I gathered H3664 me also H1571 silver H3701 and gold, H2091 and the peculiar H5459 treasure of kings H4428 and of the provinces: H4082 I got H6213 me men singers H7891 and women singers, H7891 and the delights H8588 of the sons H1121 of men, H120 as musical H7705 instruments, and that of all sorts.

And whatever H3605 H834 my eyes H5869 desired H7592 I kept H680 not from them, I withheld H4513 not my heart H3820 from any H3605 joy; H8057 for my heart H3820 rejoiced H8055 in all H3605 my labor: H5999 and this H2088 was my portion H2506 of all H3605 my labor. H5999

That said, H559 I will build H1129 me a wide H4060 house H1004 and large H7304 chambers, H5944 and cuts H7167 him out windows; H2474 and it is paneled H5603 with cedar, H730 and painted H4886 with vermilion. H8350

He judged H1777 the cause H1779 of the poor H6041 and needy; H34 then H227 it was well H2896 with him: was not this H1931 to know H1847 me? said H5002 the LORD. H3068
