thou sentest to me for: and I will do all thy desire concerning timber of cedar, and concerning timber
of fir.
[9] My servants shall bring them down from Lebanon unto the sea: and I will convey them by sea
in floats unto the place that thou shalt appoint me, and will cause them to be discharged there, and
thou shalt receive them: and thou shalt accomplish my desire, in giving food for my household.
[10] So
Hiram gave Solomon cedar trees and fir trees according to all his desire.
[11] And Solomon gave Hiram
twenty thousand measures of wheat for food to his household, and twenty measures of pure oil: thus
gave Solomon to Hiram year by year.
[12] And the LORD gave Solomon wisdom, as he promised him: and
there was peace between Hiram and Solomon; and they two made a league together.
[13] And king Solomon
raised a levy out of all Israel; and the levy was thirty thousand men.
[14] And he sent them to Lebanon
ten thousand a month by courses: a month they were in Lebanon, and two months at home: and Adoniram
was over the levy.
[15] And Solomon had threescore and ten thousand that bare burdens, and fourscore
thousand hewers in the mountains;
[16] Beside the chief of Solomon's officers which were over the work,
three thousand and three hundred, which ruled over the people that wrought in the work.
[17] And the
king commanded, and they brought great stones, costly stones, and hewed stones, to lay the foundation
of the house.
[18] And Solomon's builders and Hiram's builders did hew them, and the stonesquarers: so
they prepared timber and stones to build the house.
1Kgs.6
[1] And it came to pass in the four hundred and eightieth year after the children of Israel were come
out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month Zif, which is the
second month, that he began to build the house of the LORD.
[2] And the house which king Solomon
built for the LORD, the length thereof was threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof twenty cubits, and
the height thereof thirty cubits.
[3] And the porch before the temple of the house, twenty cubits was the
length thereof, according to the breadth of the house; and ten cubits was the breadth thereof before the
house.
[4] And for the house he made windows of narrow lights.
[5] And against the wall of the house he
built chambers round about, against the walls of the house round about, both of the temple and of the
oracle: and he made chambers round about:
[6] The nethermost chamber was five cubits broad, and the
middle was six cubits broad, and the third was seven cubits broad: for without in the wall of the house he
made narrowed rests round about, that the beams should not be fastened in the walls of the house.
[7]
And the house, when it was in building, was built of stone made ready before it was brought thither: so
that there was neither hammer nor axe nor any tool of iron heard in the house, while it was in building.
[8]
The door for the middle chamber was in the right side of the house: and they went up with winding stairs
into the middle chamber, and out of the middle into the third.
[9] So he built the house, and finished it; and
covered the house with beams and boards of cedar.
[10] And then he built chambers against all the house,
five cubits high: and they rested on the house with timber of cedar.
[11] And the word of the LORD came
to Solomon, saying,
[12] Concerning this house which thou art in building, if thou wilt walk in my statutes,
and execute my judgments, and keep all my commandments to walk in them; then will I perform my word
with thee, which I spake unto David thy father:
[13] And I will dwell among the children of Israel, and will
not forsake my people Israel.
[14] So Solomon built the house, and finished it.
[15] And he built the walls
of the house within with boards of cedar, both the floor of the house, and the walls of the cieling: and he
covered them on the inside with wood, and covered the floor of the house with planks of fir.
[16] And he
built twenty cubits on the sides of the house, both the floor and the walls with boards of cedar: he even
built them for it within, even for the oracle, even for the most holy place.
[17] And the house, that is, the
temple before it, was forty cubits long.
[18] And the cedar of the house within was carved with knops
and open flowers: all was cedar; there was no stone seen.
[19] And the oracle he prepared in the house
within, to set there the ark of the covenant of the LORD.
[20] And the oracle in the forepart was twenty
cubits in length, and twenty cubits in breadth, and twenty cubits in the height thereof: and he overlaid it
with pure gold; and so covered the altar which was of cedar.
[21] So Solomon overlaid the house within
with pure gold: and he made a partition by the chains of gold before the oracle; and he overlaid it with
gold.
[22] And the whole house he overlaid with gold, until he had finished all the house: also the whole
altar that was by the oracle he overlaid with gold.
[23] And within the oracle he made two cherubims of
olive tree, each ten cubits high.
[24] And five cubits was the one wing of the cherub, and five cubits the
other wing of the cherub: from the uttermost part of the one wing unto the uttermost part of the other
