Solomon Gathers Building Materials for the Temple

5:1 (5:15)³ King Hiram of Tyre⁴ sent messengers⁵ to Solomon when he heard that he had been anointed king in his father’s place. (Hiram had always been an ally of David.)

¹tn Heb “a house for the name of the Lord.” The word “name” sometimes refers to one’s reputation or honor. The “name” of the Lord sometimes designates the Lord himself, being indistinguishable from the proper name.

²tn Heb “because of the battles which surrounded him until the Lord placed them under the soles of his feet.”

³sn The verse numbers in the English Bible differ from those in the Hebrew text (BHS) here; 5:1-18 in the English Bible corresponds to 5:15-32 in the Hebrew text. See the note at 4:21.
