°8 xBarley also and xstraw for the horses and xdromedaries brought they unto the place where the officers were, ‘every_man according_to his charge.
29 And =God gave Solomon wisdom and dunderstanding exceeding much, and largeness_of heart, even_as the sand that 7s on the sea shore. .
30 And Solomon’s wisdom excelled the_wisdom_of all the_s children_of the east_country, and all the_wisdom_of Egypt. °
31 For he was wiser than all «xmen ; than Ethan the Ezrahite, and Heman, and Chalcol, and Darda, the_sons_of Mahol: and his «fame was in all xnations round_about.
82 And he spake three thousand pro- verbs : and his songs were a thousand and five.
83 And he spake of xtrees, from the cedar_tree that zs in xLebanon even unto the hyssop that +springeth out_of the wall: he spake also of xbeasts, and of xfowl, and of xcreeping_things, and of «fishes.
34 And there came of all x=people to hear-the_wisdom_of Solomon, from «all kings_of the earth, which had_heard of his wisdom.
~ AND ?} Hiram king_of ¢Tyre sent e) his -servants unto Solomon; for he had_heard that they had_anointed hint king in_the_room_of his father: for Hiram was « ever a lover_of David.
2. And Solomon sent to Hiram, saying,
3“@hon -knowest how_that “David my father could not build a house unto the_name_of Jthe Lorp his =God for the wars which were_about_him_on_ every_side, until Jthe Lorp put them under the_soles_of his feet.
+ But now ‘the Lorp my =God -hath_ given_me_rest on every-side, so that there is neither «dadyersary nor evil occurrent.
> And, behold, I +purpose to build a house unto the_name_of Jthe Lorp my =God, «cas the Lorp spake unto David my father, saying, ‘Thy son, whom I will_set upon thy throne in thy room he shall_build a xhouse unto My name.
6 Now therefore -command thou that they hew me cédar_trees out_of / xLe- banon ; and my servants shall_be with thy servants : and unto thee will_I_give hire for thy servants according_to all that thou shalt_sappoint: for thow ‘knowest that there is not among us aany +that_can_skill to hew timber like_unto the Sidonians.”
7 And it came_to_pass, when Hiram heard -the_words_of Solomon, that he rejoiced greatly, and said, “Blessed be ‘the Lorp this day, which -hath_given unto David a wise son over xthis xgreat xpeople.”
8 And Hiram sent to Solomon, saying, “T -have_considered the_things which thou sentest to me for: and ¥ will_do -all thy desire concerning xtimber_of cedar, and concerning xtimber_of ¢ fir.
9 My servants shall_bring_them_down from xLebanon unto_the_sea: and = will_convey them by xsea in_floats unto
