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-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) his God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] for the wars which were about him on every side, until the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) put them under the soles of his feet. 4But now the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) my God-Elohim (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-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) my God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], as the LORD-Yehovah (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-Yehovah (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-Yehovah (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.
