And Solomon
<08010>

sent
<07971> (8799)

to Huram
<02361>

the king
<04428>

of Tyre
<06865>_,

saying
<0559> (8800)_,

As thou didst deal
<06213> (8804)

with David
<01732>

my father
<01>_,

and didst send
<07971> (8799)

Behold, I build
<01129> (8802)

an house
<01004>

to the name

<03068>

my God

[it] to him, [and] to burn
<06999> (8687)

before
<06440>

him sweet
<05561>

and on the new moons
<02320>_,

and on the solemn feasts
<04150>

This [is an ordinance] for ever
<05769>

to Israel
<03478>_.

{sweet...: Heb. incense of spices}

2:5

And the house
<01004>

which I build
<01129> (8802)

[is] great

<01419>

[is] our God
<0430>

above all gods
<0430>_.

But who is able
<06113> (8799) <03581>

to build
<01129> (8800)

him an house

seeing the heaven
<08064>

and heaven
<08064>

of heavens
<08064>

cannot contain
<03557> (8770)

him? who [am] I then, that I should build
<01129> (8799)

him an house
<01004>_,

save only
<0518>

to burn sacrifice
<06999> (8687)

before
<06440>

him? {is able: Heb. hath retained, or, obtained strength}

2:7

Send

<0730>

trees
<06086>_,

<01265>_,

and algum trees
<0418>_,

that thy servants
<05650>

can skill
<03045> (8802)

to cut
<03772> (8800)

and, behold, my servants

{algum: also called, almuggim}

2:9

Even to prepare

Then Huram
<02361>

the king
<04428>

of Tyre
<06865>

answered
<0559> (8799)

in writing
<03791>_,

which he sent
<07971> (8799)

to Solomon
<08010>_,

Because the LORD
<03068>

hath loved
<0160>

his people
<05971>_,

he hath made
<05414> (8804)

thee king
<04428>

over them.

2:12

Huram
<02361>

said
<0559> (8799)

moreover, Blessed
<01288> (8803)

[be] the LORD
<03068>

God
<0430>

of Israel
<03478>_,

that made
<06213> (8804)

heaven
<08064>

and earth
<0776>_,

who hath given
<05414> (8804)

to David
<01732>

the king
<04428>

a wise

son
<01121>_,

endued

an house
<01004>

for the LORD
<03068>_,

and an house
<01004>

for his kingdom
<04438>_.

{endued...: Heb. knowing prudence and understanding}

2:13

And now I have sent
<07971> (8804)

a cunning
<02450>

man
<0376>_,

endued
<03045> (8802)

with understanding
<0998>_,

of Huram
<02361>

<01>_,

2:14

The son
<01121>

of a woman
<0802>

of the daughters

of Dan
<01835>_,

and his father
<01>

[was] a man

<02450>_,

and with the cunning men
<02450>

of my lord
<0113>

David

2:15

Now therefore the wheat
<02406>_,

and the barley
<08184>_,

<08081>_,

and the wine
<03196>_,

which my lord
<0113>

2:16

And we will cut
<03772> (8799)

wood
<06086>

out of Lebanon
<03844>_,

as much as thou shalt need

by sea
<03220>

to Joppa
<03305>_;

and thou shalt carry it up
<05927> (8686)

to Jerusalem
<03389>_.

{as much...: Heb according to all thy need} {Joppa: Heb. Japho}

2:17

And Solomon
<08010>

numbered
<05608> (8799)

all the strangers
<0582> <01616>

that [were] in the land
<0776>

of Israel
<03478>_,

after
<0310>

the numbering
<05610>

wherewith David
<01732>

his father
<01>

had numbered
<05608> (8804)

them; and they were found
<04672> (8735)

{the strangers: Heb. the men the strangers}

2:18

And he set

<05329> (8764)

to set
<05647> (0)

<05971>

<05647> (8687)_.

3:1

Then Solomon
<08010>

began
<02490> (8686)

to build
<01129> (8800)

the house
<01004>

of the LORD
<03068>

at Jerusalem
<03389>

in mount
<02022>

Moriah
<04179>_,

where [the LORD] appeared
<07200> (8738)

unto David
<01732>

his father
<01>_,

in the place
<04725>

that David
<01732>

had prepared
<03559> (8689)

in the threshingfloor
<01637>

of Ornan
<0771>

the Jebusite
<02983>_.

{where...: or, which was seen of David his father} {Ornan: also called, Araunah}

3:2

And he began

to build
<01129> (8800)

in the second

<08145>

month
<02320>_,

in the fourth
<0702>

year
<08141>

of his reign
<04438>_.

3:3

Now these [are the things wherein] Solomon
<08010>

was instructed
<03245> (8717)

for the building
<01129> (8800)

of the house
<01004>

of God
<0430>_.

The length

<08346>

<02091>_.

3:5

And the greater
<01419>

house
<01004>

he cieled
<02645> (8765)

with fir
<01265>

tree
<06086>_,

which he overlaid
<02645> (8762)

with fine
<02896>

gold
<02091>_,

and set
<05927> (8686)

thereon palm trees
<08561>

and chains
<08333>_.

3:6

And he garnished
<06823> (8762)

the house
<01004>

with precious
<03368>

stones
<068>

for beauty
<08597>_:

He overlaid

<01817>

thereof, with gold
<02091>_;

and graved
<06605> (8765)

cherubims
<03742>

on the walls
<07023>_.

3:8

And he made
<06213> (8799)

the most
<06944>

holy
<06944>

house
<01004>_,

the length
<0753>

whereof [was] according to
<06440>

<07341>

of the house
<01004>_,

<06242>

cubits
<0520>_,

and the breadth
<07341>

thereof twenty
<06242>

<0520>_:

and he overlaid
<02645> (8762)

it with fine
<02896>

gold
<02091>_,

[amounting] to six
<08337>

hundred
<03967>

talents
<03603>_.

3:9

And the weight
<04948>

of the nails
<04548>

[was] fifty
<02572>

shekels
<08255>

of gold
<02091>_.

And he overlaid
<02645> (8765)

<05944>

with gold
<02091>_.

3:10

And in the most
<06944>

holy
<06944>

house
<01004>

he made
<06213> (8799)

two
<08147>

cherubims
<03742>

of image
<06816>

<04639>_,

and overlaid
<06823> (8762)

them with gold
<02091>_.

{image...: or, (as some think) of moveable work}

3:11

And the wings
<03671>

of the cherubims
<03742>

[were] twenty
<06242>

cubits
<0520>

long
<0753>_:

one
<0259>

<03671>

[of the one cherub was] five
<02568>

<03742>_.

3:12

And [one] wing
<03671>

<0520>

[also], joining
<01695>

to the wing
<03671>

of the other
<0312>

cherub
<03742>_.

3:13

The wings
<03671>

of these cherubims
<03742>

spread themselves forth
<06566> (8802)

twenty
<06242>

cubits
<0520>_:

and they stood
<05975> (8802)

on their feet
<07272>_,

and their faces
<06440>

[were] inward
<01004>_.

{inward: or, toward the house}

3:14

And he made

<07218>

of each of them [was] five

<0520>_.

{high: Heb. long}

3:16

And he made
<06213> (8799)

chains
<08333>_,

[as] in the oracle
<01687>_,

and put
<05414> (8799)

[them] on the heads
<07218>

of the pillars
<05982>_;

and made

an hundred
<03967>

pomegranates
<07416>_,

and put
<05414> (8799)

3:17

And he reared up
<06965> (8686)

the pillars
<05982>

before
<06440>

the temple
<01964>_,

one
<0259>

on the right hand
<03225>_,

and the other
<0259>

Jachin
<03199>_,

and the name
<08034>

<01162>_.

{Jachin: that is, He shall establish} {Boaz: that is, In it is strength}

4:1

Moreover he made

{from...: Heb. from his brim to his brim}

4:3

And under it [was] the similitude
