13 And I have sent a wise man, knowing with understanding, Huram-abi,

14 son of a woman of the daughters of Dan, and his father a man of Tyre, skilled to work in the gold, and in the silver, in the bronze, in the iron, in the stones, and in the wood, in purple, and in blue, and in fine linen, and in crimson, and to engrave any engraving, and to accomplish any device that may be given to him with your wise ones, and with wise ones of my lord David your father.

15 And now the wheat, and the barley, the oil, and the wine, of which my lord has spoken, let him send to his servants.

16 And we will cut trees from Lebanon, according to all your need, and we will bring it to you in rafts by sea to Joppa, and you will bring them up to Jerusalem.”

17 And Solomon numbered all the men, the sojourners who were in the land of Israel, after the census in which David his father had numbered them. And they were found to be a hundred and fifty thousand and three thousand and six hundred.

18 And he made of them seventy thousand porters, and eighty thousand stonecutters in the mountain, and three thousand and six hundred overseers to make the people work.
