So Hiram provided
The name "Hiram" refers to the king of Tyre, a significant ally of King Solomon. Historically, Tyre was a prominent Phoenician city known for its skilled craftsmen and abundant resources. The Hebrew root for "provided" is "nathan," meaning to give or bestow. This act of provision signifies a covenantal relationship, reflecting the mutual respect and cooperation between Hiram and Solomon. It highlights the importance of alliances and partnerships in fulfilling God's purposes, as Hiram's provision was crucial for the construction of the Temple.

Solomon
Solomon, the son of David, is renowned for his wisdom and for building the First Temple in Jerusalem. His name in Hebrew, "Shlomo," is derived from "shalom," meaning peace. Solomon's reign was marked by peace and prosperity, allowing him to undertake significant projects like the Temple. This verse underscores Solomon's role as a divinely appointed leader who sought to honor God through the construction of a sacred space for worship.

with all the cedar and cypress timber
Cedar and cypress were highly valued in the ancient Near East for their durability and aromatic qualities. Cedar, in particular, was associated with strength and longevity, often used in royal and religious buildings. The use of these materials in the Temple construction symbolizes the permanence and majesty of God's dwelling place. Archaeological findings confirm the extensive trade networks of the Phoenicians, who were renowned for their timber trade, further validating the historical context of this verse.

he wanted
The phrase "he wanted" indicates Solomon's specific requirements for the Temple's construction. The Hebrew word "chafetz" implies desire or delight, suggesting that Solomon's plans were not only practical but also aligned with his vision for a magnificent house for the Lord. This reflects the biblical principle that God delights in the desires of those who seek to honor Him, and it emphasizes the importance of intentionality and excellence in serving God.

Verse 10. - So Hiram gave [Heb. kept giving, supplied] Solomon cedar trees and fir [or cypress] trees, according to all his desire.
