² And Solomon sent to Hiram, saying:
³ Thou knowest the will of David my father, and that he could not build a house to the name of the Lord his God, because of the wars that were round about him, until the Lord put them under the soles of his feet.
⁴ But now the Lord my God hath given me rest round about: and there is no adversary nor evil occurrence.
⁵ Wherefore I purpose to build a temple to the name of the Lord my God, as the Lord spoke to David my father, saying: Thy son, whom I will set upon the throne in thy piece, he shall build a house to my name.
⁶ Give orders therefore that thy servants cut me down cedar trees out of Libanus, and let my servants be with thy servants: and I will give thee the hire of thy servants whatsoever thou wilt ask, for thou knowest how there is not among my people a man that has skill to hew wood like to the Sidonians.
⁷ Now when Hiram had heard the words of Solomon, he rejoiced exceedingly, and said: Blessed be the Lord God this day, who hath given to David a very wise son over this numerous people.
⁸ And Hiram sent to Solomon, saying: I have heard all thou hast desired of me: and I will do all thy desire concerning cedar trees, and fir trees.
⁹ My servants shall bring them down from Libanus to the sea: and I will put them together in floats in the sea, and convey them to the place, which thou shalt signify to me; and will land them there, and thou shalt receive them: and thou shalt allow me necessaries, to furnish food for my household.
¹⁰ So Hiram gave Solomon cedar trees, and fir trees, according to all his desire.
¹¹ And Solomon allowed Hiram twenty thousand measures of wheat, for provision for his house, and twenty measures of the purest oil: thus gave Solomon to Hiram every year.

¹³ And king Solomon chose workmen cut of all Israel, and the levy was of thirty thousand men.
¹⁴ And he sent them to Libanus, ten thousand every month by turns, so that two months they were at home: and Adoniram was over this levy.
¹⁵ And Solomon had seventy thousand to carry burdens, and eighty thousand to hew stones in the mountain:
¹⁶ Besides the overseers who were over every work, in number three thousand, and three hundred that ruled over the people, and them that did the work.
¹⁷ And the king commanded, that they should bring great stones, costly stones, for the foundation of the temple, and should square them:
¹⁸ And the masons of Solomon, and the masons of Hiram hewed them: and the Giblians prepared timber and stones to build the house.

⁴ But now the Lord my God has given me rest on every side; no one is making trouble, and no evil is taking place.
⁵ And so it is my purpose to make a house for the name of the Lord my God, as he said to David my father, Your son, whom I will make king in your place, will be the builder of a house for my name.
⁶ So now, will you have cedar-trees from Lebanon cut down for me, and my servants will be with your servants; and I will give you payment for your servants at whatever rate you say; for it is common knowledge that we have no such wood-cutters among us as the men of Zidon.
⁷ And these words of Solomon made Hiram glad, and he said, Now may the Lord be praised who has given to David a wise son to be king over this great people.
⁸ Then Hiram sent to Solomon, saying; The words you sent have been given to me: I will do all your desire in the question of cedar-wood and cypress-wood.
⁹ My men will take them down from Lebanon to the sea, where I will have them corded together to go by sea to whatever place you say, and I will have them cut up there so that you may take them away; as for payment, it will be enough if you give me food for my people.
