1 Kings 5:7 CPDV

⁵  For this reason, I intend to build a temple to the name of the Lord my God, just as the Lord spoke to my father David, saying: 'Your son, whom I will set in your place, upon your throne, he himself shall build a house to my name.'

⁶  Therefore, order that your servants may cut down for me cedars from Lebanon. And let my servants be with your servants. Then I will give to you, for the wages of your servants, whatever you will ask. For you know that there is not a man among my people who knows how to cut wood as well as the Sidonians.'

⁷  Therefore, when Hiram had heard the words of Solomon, he rejoiced greatly, and he said, 'Blessed be the Lord God this day, who gave to David a very wise son over this numerous people!'

⁸  And Hiram sent to Solomon, saying: 'I have heard the things that you would entrust to me. And I will do your whole will concerning the cedar trees and spruce trees.

⁹  My servants shall bring them down from Lebanon to the sea. And I will arrange them together as rafts on the sea, as far as the place that you will indicate to me. And I will land them there, and you will take them. And you shall offer to me what is necessary to give food to my house.'
