1Now when Hiram king of Tyre heard that Solomon had been anointed king in his father’s place, he sent envoys to Solomon; for Hiram had always been a friend of David.
2And Solomon relayed this message to Hiram:
7When Hiram received Solomon’s message, he rejoiced greatly and said, “Blessed be the Lord this day! He has given David a wise son over this great people!”
8Then Hiram sent a reply to Solomon, saying:
10So Hiram provided Solomon with all the cedar and cypress timber he wanted,
11and year after year Solomon would provide Hiram with 20,000 cors of wheat as food for his household, as well as 20,000 baths of pure olive oil.[#5:11 20,000 cors is approximately 124,800 bushels or 4.4 million liters (probably about 3,800 tons or 3,400 metric tons of wheat).; #5:11 LXX (see also 2 Chronicles 2:10); 20,000 baths is approximately 116,000 gallons or 440,000 liters of olive oil; Hebrew twenty cors of pure oil or twenty cors of pressed oil]
12And the Lord gave Solomon wisdom, as He had promised him. There was peace between Hiram and Solomon, and the two of them made a treaty.[#5:12 Forms of the Hebrew berit are translated in most passages as covenant.]
13Then King Solomon conscripted a labor force of 30,000 men from all Israel.
14He sent them to Lebanon in monthly shifts of 10,000 men, so that they would spend one month in Lebanon and two months at home. And Adoniram was in charge of the forced labor.
15Solomon had 70,000 porters and 80,000 stonecutters in the mountains,
16not including his 3,300 foremen who supervised the workers.[#5:16 Hebrew; some LXX manuscripts 3,600; see 2 Chronicles 2:18.]
17And the king commanded them to quarry large, costly stones to lay the foundation of the temple with dressed stones.
18So Solomon’s and Hiram’s builders, along with the Gebalites, quarried the stone and prepared the timber and stone for the construction of the temple.
