2 Now Solomon resolved to build a temple for the Eternal and a royal palace for himself. 2 So Solomon told off seventy thousand men as labourers and eighty thousand woodcutters in the hills, with three thousand six hundred foremen. 3 Solomon also sent this message to Huram king of Tyre: “Deal with me as you dealt with my father David, when you sent him cedars to build him a palace. 4 I am building a temple in honour of the Eternal my God, dedicating it to him, for burning incense of fragrant spices before him, for presenting the bread of the Presence perpetually, and for burnt-offerings every morning and evening, on the sabbaths and at the new moon and on the set festivals of the Eternal our God—these being binding upon Israel. 5 It is a great temple I am building, for great is our God, above all gods. 6 No one could build him a temple to house him, since heaven and even the highest heaven cannot contain him. I am merely building him a temple, to have incense burned before him, and who am I even to accomplish this? 7 Send me, then, some craftsman who is an adept in working gold, silver, bronze, and iron, in handling purple, crimson, and blue dyes, some one to assist my own adepts in Judah and Jerusalem, whom my father David has collected. 8 Also send me cedars, firs, and cypress logs from Lebanon; for I know your servants are skilled at felling timber in Lebanon. 9 My servants will join your servants in getting plenty of timber ready, for the temple I am building is to be a marvel in size. 10 I will give your people the woodcutters two hundred thousand bushels of grain for food, two hundred thousand bushels of barley, a hundred and eighty thousand gallons of wine, and a hundred and eighty thousand gallons of oil.”
11 Huram king of Tyre sent this written answer to Solomon: “Because the Eternal loves his people, he has made you their king. 12 Blessed be the Eternal the God of Israel,” Huram continued, “who made heaven and earth, and who has given king David a wise son, endowed with prudence and intelligence, to build a temple and a royal palace for himself. 13 I send you an adept workman, endued with intelligence, a trusty adviser of mine called Huram, 14 the son of a Danite woman and of a Tyrian sire, an expert in handling gold, silver, bronze, iron, stone, and wood, in treating purple, blue, fine linen, and crimson dyes, also in carving and engraving of all kinds; let him be allotted a place among your own adept workmen and those of my lord David your father. 15 As for the grain, the barley, the oil, and the wine, of which my lord speaks, let these be sent to the servants; 16 we will fell as much timber as you want from Lebanon and forward it in floats by sea to Joppa, whence you can transport it up to Jerusalem.”
17 So Solomon registered all the aliens in the land of Israel, according to the census taken by his father David; they proved to be a hundred and fifty-three thousand six hundred in number. 18 Seventy thousand of them he made labourers, eighty thousand were to work as woodcutters up in the hills, and three thousand six hundred were to act as foremen and to see that the men did their work.
