¹And Hiram [noble] king of Tzor (Tyre) [a rock] sent his servants unto Shlomo (Solomon) [peace] ; for he had heard that they had anointed him king in the room of his father: for Hiram [noble] was ever a lover of David [beloved] .

²And Shlomo (Solomon) [peace] sent to Hiram [noble] , saying,

³youi know how that David [beloved] my father could not build an house unto the name of the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) his God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] for the wars which were about him on every side, until the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) put them under the soles of his feet.

⁴But now the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) my God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] has given me rest on every side, [so that there is] neither adversary nor evil evident.

⁵And, behold, I purpose to build an house unto the name of the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) my God-Elōhīm (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] , as the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) spoke unto David [beloved] my father, saying, Your1s son, whom I will set upon youri throne in youri room, he shall build an house unto my name.

⁶Now therefore command youi that they hew me cedar trees out of L’vanon [Whiteness] ; and my servants shall be with youri servants: and unto youi will I give wages for youri servants according to all that youi shall appoint: for youi know that [there is] not among us any that can skill to hew timber like unto the Tzidonim [Hunting] .

⁷And it came to pass, when Hiram [noble] heard the words of Shlomo (Solomon) [peace] , that he rejoiced greatly, and said, Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) [be] the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) this day, which has given unto David [beloved] a wise son over this great people.

⁸And Hiram [noble] sent to Shlomo (Solomon) [peace] , saying, I have considered the things which youi sent to me for: [and] I will do all youri desire concerning timber of cedar, and concerning timber of fir.

⁹My servants shall bring [them] down from L’vanon [Whiteness] unto the sea: and I will convey them by sea in floats unto the place that youi shall appoint me, and will cause them to be discharged there, and youi shall receive [them] : and youi shall accomplish my desire, in giving food for my household.

¹⁰So Hiram [noble] gave Shlomo (Solomon) [peace] cedar trees and fir trees [according to] all his desire.

¹¹And Shlomo (Solomon) [peace] gave Hiram [noble] twenty thousand measures of wheat [for] food to his household, and twenty measures of pure oil: thus gave Shlomo (Solomon) [peace] to Hiram [noble] year by year.

¹²And the Lord -Yehōvah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) gave Shlomo (Solomon) [peace] wisdom, as he promised him: and there was peace between Hiram [noble] and Shlomo (Solomon) [peace] ; and they two made a league (a covenant or compact made between persons, parties, states, etc., for the promotion or maintenance of common interests or for mutual assistance or service.) together.

¹³And king Shlomo (Solomon) [peace] raised a levy out of all Yisra’el [He Holds Onto The Heel Of God] ; and the levy was thirty thousand men.

¹⁴And he sent them to L’vanon [Whiteness] , ten thousand a month by courses: a month they were in L’vanon [Whiteness] , [and] two months at home: and Adoniram [my lord is exalted] [was] over the levy.

¹⁵And Shlomo (Solomon) [peace] had threescore and ten thousand that bore burdens, and eighty thousand hewers in the mountains;

¹⁶Beside the chief of Shlomo’s (Solomon) [peace] officers which [were] over the work, three thousand and three hundred, which ruled over the people that wrought in the work.

¹⁷And the king commanded, and they brought great stones, costly stones, [and] hewed stones, to lay the foundation of the house.

¹⁸And Shlomo’s (Solomon) [peace] builders and Hiram [noble] ’s builders did hew [them] , and the stonesquarers: so they prepared timber and stones to build the house.
