And Solomon
<08010>

<0559> (8799)
to build
<01129> (8800)
an house
<01004>
for the name
<08034>
of the LORD
<03068>_,
and an house
<01004>
for his kingdom
<04438>_.
And Solomon
<08010>
told out
<05608> (8799)
threescore and ten
<07657>
thousand
<0505>
men
<0376>
to bear burdens
<05449>_,
and fourscore
<08084>
thousand
<0505> <0376>
to hew
<02672> (8802)

<02022>_,
and three
<07969>
thousand
<0505>
and six
<08337>
hundred
<03967>
to oversee
<05329> (8764)
them.
And Solomon
<08010>
sent
<07971> (8799)
to Huram
<02361>
the king
<04428>
of Tyre
<06865>_,
saying
<0559> (8800)_,
As thou didst deal
<06213> (8804)
with David
<01732>
my father
<01>_,
and didst send
<07971> (8799)
him cedars
<0730>
to build
<01129> (8800)
him an house
<01004>
to dwell
<03427> (8800)
therein, [even so deal with me]. {Huram: or, Hiram}
Behold, I build
<01129> (8802)
an house
<01004>
to the name
<08034>
of the LORD
<03068>
my God
<0430>_,
to dedicate
<06942> (8687)
[it] to him, [and] to burn
<06999> (8687)
before
<06440>
him sweet
<05561>
incense
<07004>_,
and for the continual
<08548>
shewbread
<04635>_,
and for the burnt offerings
<05930>
morning
<01242>
and evening
<06153>_,
on the sabbaths
<07676>_,
and on the new moons
<02320>_,
and on the solemn feasts
<04150>
of the LORD
<03068>
our God
<0430>_.
This [is an ordinance] for ever
<05769>
to Israel
<03478>_.
{sweet...: Heb. incense of spices}
And the house
<01004>
which I build
<01129> (8802)
[is] great
<01419>_:
for great
<01419>
[is] our God
<0430>
above all gods
<0430>_.
But who is able
<06113> (8799) <03581>
to build
<01129> (8800)
him an house
<01004>_,
seeing the heaven
<08064>
and heaven
<08064>
of heavens
<08064>
cannot contain
<03557> (8770)
him? who [am] I then, that I should build
<01129> (8799)
him an house
<01004>_,
save only
<0518>
to burn sacrifice
<06999> (8687)
before
<06440>
him? {is able: Heb. hath retained, or, obtained strength}
Send
<07971> (8798)
me now therefore a man
<0376>
cunning
<02450>
to work
<06213> (8800)
in gold
<02091>_,
and in silver
<03701>_,
and in brass
<05178>_,
and in iron
<01270>_,
and in purple
<0710>_,
and crimson
<03758>_,
and blue
<08504>_,
and that can skill
<03045> (8802)
to grave
<06605> (8763) <06603>
with the cunning men
<02450>
that [are] with me in Judah
<03063>
and in Jerusalem
<03389>_,
whom David
<01732>
my father
<01>
did provide
<03559> (8689)_.
{to grave: Heb. to grave gravings}
Send
<07971> (8798)
me also cedar
<0730>
trees
<06086>_,
fir trees
<01265>_,
and algum trees
<0418>_,
out of Lebanon
<03844>_:
for I know
<03045> (8804)
that thy servants
<05650>
can skill
<03045> (8802)
to cut
<03772> (8800)
timber
<06086>
in Lebanon
<03844>_;
and, behold, my servants
<05650>
[shall be] with thy servants
<05650>_,
{algum: also called, almuggim}
Even to prepare
<03559> (8687)
me timber
<06086>
in abundance
<07230>_:
for the house
<01004>
which I am about to build
<01129> (8802)
[shall be] wonderful
<06381> (8687)
great
<01419>_.
{wonderful...: Heb. great and wonderful}
And, behold, I will give
<05414> (8804)
to thy servants
<05650>_,
the hewers
<02404> (8802)
that cut
<03772> (8802)
timber
<06086>_,
twenty
<06242>
thousand
<0505>
measures
<03734>

<08081>_.
Then Huram
<02361>
the king
<04428>
of Tyre
<06865>
answered
<0559> (8799)
in writing
<03791>_,
which he sent
<07971> (8799)
to Solomon
<08010>_,
Because the LORD
<03068>
hath loved
<0160>
his people
<05971>_,
he hath made
<05414> (8804)
thee king
<04428>
over them.
Huram
<02361>
said
<0559> (8799)
moreover, Blessed
<01288> (8803)
[be] the LORD
<03068>
God
<0430>
of Israel
<03478>_,
that made
<06213> (8804)
heaven
<08064>
and earth
<0776>_,
who hath given
<05414> (8804)
to David
<01732>
the king
<04428>
a wise
<02450>
son
<01121>_,
endued
<03045> (8802)
with prudence
<07922>
and understanding
<0998>_,
that might build
<01129> (8799)
an house
<01004>
for the LORD
<03068>_,
and an house
<01004>
for his kingdom
<04438>_.
{endued...: Heb. knowing prudence and understanding}
And now I have sent
<07971> (8804)
a cunning
<02450>
man
<0376>_,
endued
<03045> (8802)
with understanding
<0998>_,
of Huram
<02361>
my father's
<01>_,
The son
<01121>
of a woman
<0802>
of the daughters
<01323>
of Dan
<01835>_,
and his father
<01>
[was] a man
<0376>
of Tyre
<06876>_,
skilful
<03045> (8802)
to work
<06213> (8800)

<02091>_,
and in silver
<03701>_,

<01270>_,

<06086>_,

and in fine linen
<0948>_,
and in crimson
<03758>_;
also to grave
<06605> (8763)
any manner of graving
<06603>_,
and to find out
<02803> (8800)
every device
<04284>
which shall be put
<05414> (8735)
to him, with thy cunning men
<02450>_,
and with the cunning men
<02450>
of my lord
<0113>
David
<01732>
thy father
<01>_.
Now therefore the wheat
<02406>_,
and the barley
<08184>_,
the oil
<08081>_,
and the wine
<03196>_,
which my lord
<0113>
hath spoken
<0559> (8804)
of, let him send
<07971> (8799)
unto his servants
<05650>_:
And we will cut
<03772> (8799)

<06086>
out of Lebanon
<03844>_,
as much as thou shalt need
<06878>_:
and we will bring
<0935> (8686)
it to thee in floats
<07513>
by sea
<03220>

<03305>_;
and thou shalt carry it up
<05927> (8686)
to Jerusalem
<03389>_.
{as much...: Heb according to all thy need} {Joppa: Heb. Japho}
And Solomon
<08010>
numbered
<05608> (8799)
all the strangers
<0582> <01616>
that [were] in the land
<0776>
of Israel
<03478>_,
after
<0310>
the numbering
<05610>
wherewith David
<01732>
his father
