Note: This view shows ‘verses’ which are not necessarily natural language units and hence sometimes only part of a sentence will be visible—click on any Bible version abbreviation down the left-hand side to see the verse in more of its context. Normally the OET discourages the reading of individual ‘verses’, but this view is only designed as a tool for Bible-translators and others doing comparisons of different translations—the older translations are further down the page (so you can read up from the bottom to trace the English translation history). The OET segments on this page are still early looks into the drafted texts of the Open English Translation of the Bible—please double-check these texts in advance before using in public.

(Some words not found in UHB: and,they_cut_[them]_out builders_of Shəlomoh/(Solomon)'s and,the_builders_of Ḩīrām's and,the,Gebalites and,they_prepared the,wood(s) and,the,stones to,build the,house )

The author is using the term builders to refer to all of the men whose labor contributed to the building of the temple. He does not mean that they were all involved in constructing the temple itself. As the context shows, most of them were involved in collecting and transporting the materials. You may wish to use a more general term in your translation. Alternate translation: [Solomon’s workers and Hiram’s workers]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

וְ⁠הַ⁠גִּבְלִ֑ים

The workers from the city of Gebal were experts in squaring stones for buildings. You could indicate this explicitly in your translation if that would be helpful to your readers. Alternate translation: [and the men he brought in from the city of Gebal, who were experts in squaring stones]
