1 Kings 5:6-10

« 1 Kings 41 Kings 51 Kings 6 »

6 So now, command that they cut for me ^acedars from Lebanon, and my servants will be with your servants; and I will give you wages for your servants according to all that you say, for you know that there is no one among us who knows how to cut timber like the Sidonians.”
7 Now it happened, when Hiram heard the words of Solomon, he was very glad and said, “Blessed be Yahweh today, who has given to David a wise son over this great people.” 8 So Hiram sent word to Solomon, saying, “I have heard the message which you have sent me; I will do ¹what you desire concerning the cedar and cypress timber. 9 My servants will bring them down from Lebanon to the sea; and I will make them into rafts to go by sea ^ato the place where you ¹direct me, and I will have them broken up there, and you shall carry them away. Then ^byou shall accomplish my desire by giving food to my household.” 10 So ¹Hiram ²gave Solomon ³as much as he desired of the cedar and cypress timber.

15 Then he ^abuilt the walls of the house on the inside with boards of cedar; from the floor of the house to the ¹ceiling he overlaid the walls on the inside with wood, and he overlaid the floor of the house with boards of cypress. 16 ^aAnd he built twenty cubits on the rear part of the house with boards of cedar from the floor to the ¹ceiling; he built them for it on the inside as an inner sanctuary, as ^bthe Holy of Holies. 17 And the house, that is, the nave in front of the inner sanctuary, was ¹forty cubits long. 18 And there was cedar on the house within, carved in the shape of ^agourds and open flowers; all was cedar, there was no stone seen.
