RF KI1 5:1 (B.C. 1014) The King of Tyre supplies to Solomon Timber for the Temple.
Khiram1 King of Tzur2 also sent his ministers to Solomon, when he heard that he had been consecrated king as his father's viceroy, for Hiram and David were friends all their time.
RF KI1 5:2 Solomon accordingly sent to Khiram to say:
RF KI1 5:3 "You know David was not able to build a House to the name of the EVER-LIVING GOD,
RF KI1 5:4 because the EVER-LIVING said to David my father,
RF KI1 5:5 'Your son, whom I will place as your viceroy on your throne, shall build a house to My name.'
RF KI1 5:6 So now therefore order them to cut for me Cedars from Lebanon, and my workmen shall be with your workmen, and I will pay your workmen. I will pay you whatever you agree, for you know there are not among us men who understand the cutting of timber as the Zidonians do."
RF KI1 5:7 And when Khiram heard the demands of Solomon he was greatly pleased, and said, "Thank the EVER-LIVING to-day who has given David a wise son over, this great people."
RF KI1 5:8 So Khiram sent to Solomon to say, "I have heard what you have communicated to me. I will do all that you wish in Cedar and Fir timber.
RF KI1 5:9 My workmen shall bring it from Lebanon to the sea, and I will direct in rafts on the sea to whatever place you instruct me, and deliver it there, and you accept it, and make payment to me by providing food for my people."
RF KI1 5:10 Consequently Khiram supplied Solomon with Cedar and Pine timber as much as he desired,
—————
1. Hiram.—F.F.
2. Tzur, Tyre.—F.F.
RF KI1 5:11 and Solomon paid to Khiram twenty thousand kors of wheat, to provide for his city, and twenty kors of olive oil. Solomon gave this to Hiram year by year.
RF KI1 5:12 (B.C. 1018) Solomon orders a Conscription of Workmen.
Thus the EVER-LIVING gave Solomon wisdom, as He promised him, and there was peace between Khiram and Solomon, and they both made a treaty together.
RF KI1 5:13 King Solomon then levied a conscription from all Israel; and the conscription was thirty thousand men, whom he sent to Lebanon, by ten thousand a month, by monthly shifts.
RF KI1 5:14 They were a month in Lebanon; two months at home. And Adoniram was over this conscription.
RF KI1 5:15 He had also twenty thousand carriers of loads; and eighty thousand stone-cutters in the hills, besides Solomon's thirty thousand masons,
RF KI1 5:16 Who were at the works in the plains, and three hundred superintendents of the people labouring at the buildings.
RF KI1 5:17 For the king ordered, and they made large stones; heavy stones for the foundations of the Temple; polished stones.
RF KI1 5:18 Thus the people of Solomon, and the people of Khiram carved, and planned, and shaped the timber and the stones to build the Temple.
