1 Kings 5:6 - Forerunner Commentary

1 Kings 5:6

4 But now the Lord my God has given me ^arest on every side; there is neither adversary nor² evil occurrence.

5 ^aAnd behold,¹ I propose to build a house for the name of the Lord my God, ^bas the Lord spoke to my father David, saying, “Your son, whom I will set on your throne in your place, he shall build the house for My name.”

6 Now therefore, command that they cut down ^acedars for me from Lebanon; and my servants will be with your servants, and I will pay you wages for your servants according to whatever you say. For you know there is none among us who has skill to cut timber like the Sidonians.

7 So it was, when Hiram heard the words of Solomon, that he rejoiced greatly and said,
Blessed be the Lord this day, for He has given David a wise son over this great people!

8 Then Hiram sent to Solomon, saying:
I have considered the message which you sent me, and I will do all you desire concerning the cedar and cypress logs.

9 My servants shall bring them down ^afrom Lebanon to the sea; I will float them in rafts by sea to the place you indicate to me, and will have them broken apart there; then you can take them away. And you shall fulfill my desire ^bby giving food for my household.

10 Then Hiram gave Solomon cedar and cypress logs according to all his desire.
