Chapter 5 And Hiram king of Tyre sent his
servants unto Solomon.

00:06.120 --> 00:09.380
For he had heard that they had anointed
him king in the room of his father.

00:10.240 --> 00:12.560
For Hiram was ever a lover of David.

00:13.140 --> 00:17.260
And Solomon sent to Hiram, saying,
Thou knowest how that David my father

00:17.260 --> 00:21.180
could not build an house unto the name of
the Lord his God for the wars which were

00:21.180 --> 00:24.980
about him on every side, until the Lord
put them unto the soles of his feet.

00:24.980 --> 00:30.300
But now the Lord my God hath given me rest
on every side, so that there is neither

00:30.300 --> 00:32.020
adversary nor evil occurrent.

00:32.960 --> 00:37.220
And behold, I purpose to build an house
unto the name of the Lord my God,

00:37.560 --> 00:42.460
as the Lord spake unto David my father,
saying, Thy son, whom I will set upon thy

00:42.460 --> 00:46.000
throne in thy room, he shall build an
house unto my name.

00:46.720 --> 00:50.600
Now therefore, command thou that they hew
me cedar trees out of Lebanon,

00:50.940 --> 00:53.080
and my servants shall be with thy
servants.

00:53.080 --> 00:57.360
And unto thee will I give hire for thy
servants, according to all that thou shall

00:57.360 --> 00:57.760
appoint.

00:58.440 --> 01:02.360
For thou knowest that there is not among
us any that can skill to hew timber like

01:02.360 --> 01:03.440
unto the Sidonians.

01:03.760 --> 01:08.120
And it came to pass, when Hiram heard the
words of Solomon, that he rejoiced

01:08.120 --> 01:12.860
greatly, and said, Blessed be the Lord
this day, which hath given unto David a

01:12.860 --> 01:15.120
wise son over this great people.

01:15.380 --> 01:19.080
And Hiram sent to Solomon, saying,
I have considered the things which thou

01:19.080 --> 01:24.040
sentest to me for, and I will do all thy
desire concerning timber of cedar,

01:24.500 --> 01:26.220
and concerning timber of fir.

01:26.940 --> 01:32.080
My servants shall bring them down from
Lebanon unto the sea, and I will convey

01:32.080 --> 01:37.900
them by sea in floats unto the place that
thou shalt appoint me, and will cause them

01:37.900 --> 01:39.320
to be discharged there.

01:39.960 --> 01:45.440
And thou shalt receive them, and thou
shalt accomplish my desire in giving food

01:45.440 --> 01:46.440
for my household.

01:46.440 --> 01:51.760
So Hiram gave Solomon cedar trees and fir
trees according to all his desire.

01:52.660 --> 01:56.020
And Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand
measures of wheat for food to his

01:56.020 --> 01:58.760
household, and twenty measures of pure
oil.

01:59.580 --> 02:02.080
Thus gave Solomon to Hiram year by year.

02:02.880 --> 02:05.960
And the Lord gave Solomon wisdom,
as he promised him.

02:06.460 --> 02:10.640
And there was peace between Hiram and
Solomon, and they too made a league

02:10.640 --> 02:11.020
together.

02:12.140 --> 02:14.920
And King Solomon raised a levy out of all
Israel.

02:15.420 --> 02:17.600
And the levy was thirty thousand men.

02:18.260 --> 02:21.800
And he sent them to Lebanon, ten thousand
a month by courses.

02:22.620 --> 02:25.220
A month they were in Lebanon, and two
months at home.

02:25.800 --> 02:27.480
And Adoniram was over the levy.

02:28.400 --> 02:32.660
And Solomon had threescore and ten
thousand that bear burdens, and fourscore

02:32.660 --> 02:34.100
thousand hewers in the mountains.

02:35.120 --> 02:39.040
Beside the chief of Solomon's officers,
which were over the work, three thousand

02:39.040 --> 02:42.320
and three hundred, which ruled over the
people that wrought in the work.

02:42.320 --> 02:47.700
And the king commanded, and they brought
great stones, costly stones, and hewed

02:47.700 --> 02:50.100
stones, to lay the foundation of the
house.

02:50.920 --> 02:55.360
And Solomon's builders and Hiram's
builders did hew them, and the stone

02:55.360 --> 02:55.900
squarers.

02:56.580 --> 02:59.480
So they prepared timber and stones to
build the house.
