14_2CH_02_01 And Solomon determined to build an house for the name of the LORD , And an house for his kingdom .
14_2CH_02_02 And Solomon told out threescore And ten thousand men to bear burdens , And fourscore thousand to Hew in the mountain , And three thousand And six hundred to oversee them .
14_2CH_02_03 And Solomon sent to Huram the king of Tyre , saying , as thou didst deal with David my Father , And didst send him cedars to build him an house to dwell therein , [ even So deal with me ] .
14_2CH_02_04 behold , I build an house to the name of the LORD my God , to dedicate [ it ] to him , [ And ] to burn before him sweet incense , And for the continual showbread , And for the burnt offerings morning And evening , on the sabbaths , And on the new moons , And on the solemn feasts of the LORD our God . this [ Is an ordinance ] for ever to Israel .
14_2CH_02_05 And the house which I build [ Is ] great : for great [ Is ] our God above all gods .
14_2CH_02_06 but who Is able to build him an house , seeing the heaven And heaven of heavens cannot contain him ? who [ am ] I Then , that I should build him an house , save only to burn sacrifice before him ?
14_2CH_02_07 send me now therefore A man cunning to work in gold , And in silver , And in brass , And in iron , And in purple , And crimson , And blue , And that can skill to grave with the cunning men that [ are ] with me in Judah And in Jerusalem , whom David my Father did provide .
14_2CH_02_08 send me also cedar trees , fir trees , And algum trees , out of Lebanon : for I know that thy servants can skill to cut timber in Lebanon ; And , behold , my servants [ shall be ] with thy servants ,
14_2CH_02_09 even to prepare me timber in abundance : for the house which I am about to build [ shall be ] wonderful great .
14_2CH_02_10 And , behold , I will give to thy servants , the hewers that cut timber , twenty thousand measures of beaten wheat , And twenty thousand measures of barley , And twenty thousand baths of wine , And twenty thousand baths of oil .
14_2CH_02_11 Then Huram the king of Tyre answered in writing , which he sent to Solomon , because the LORD hath loved his people , he hath made thee king over them .
14_2CH_02_12 Huram said moreover , blessed [ be ] the LORD God of Israel , that made heaven And earth , who hath given to David the king A wise son , endued with prudence And understanding , that might build an house for the LORD , And an house for his kingdom .
14_2CH_02_13 And now I have sent A cunning man , endued with understanding , of Huram my father's ,
14_2CH_02_14 the son of A woman of the daughters of Dan , And his Father [ was ] A man of Tyre , skilful to work in gold , And in silver , in brass , in iron , in stone , And in timber , in purple , in blue , And in fine linen , And in crimson ; also to grave any manner of graving , And to find out every device which shall be put to him , with thy cunning men , And with the cunning men of my LORD David thy Father .
14_2CH_02_15 now therefore the wheat , And the barley , the oil , And the wine , which my LORD hath spoken of , let him send unto his servants :
14_2CH_02_16 And we will cut wood out of Lebanon , as much as thou shalt need : And we will bring it to thee in floats by sea to Joppa ; And thou shalt carry it up to Jerusalem .
14_2CH_02_17 And Solomon numbered all the strangers that [ were ] in the land of Israel , after the numbering wherewith David his Father had numbered them ; And they were found an hundred And fifty thousand And three thousand And six hundred .
14_2CH_02_18 And he set threescore And ten thousand of them [ to be ] bearers of burdens , And fourscore thousand [ to be ] hewers in the mountain , And three thousand And six hundred overseers to set the people A work .
