Chapter 2 And Solomon determined to build
an house for the name of the LORD,

00:05.700 --> 00:06.880
and an house for his kingdom.

00:07.740 --> 00:12.960
And Solomon told out threescore and ten
thousand men to bear burdens, and

00:12.960 --> 00:17.340
fourscore thousand to hew in the mountain,
and three thousand and six hundred to

00:17.340 --> 00:17.980
oversee them.

00:18.900 --> 00:23.560
And Solomon sent Ahuram the king of Tyre,
saying, As thou didst deal with David my

00:23.560 --> 00:27.080
father, and didst send him cedars to build
him an house to dwell therein,

00:27.540 --> 00:29.400
even so deal with me.

00:30.220 --> 00:35.000
Behold, I build an house to the name of
the LORD my God, to dedicate it to him,

00:35.300 --> 00:38.940
and to burn before him sweet incense,
and for the continual showbread,

00:39.180 --> 00:42.600
and for the burnt offerings morning and
evening, on the sabbaths, and on the new

00:42.600 --> 00:45.300
moons, and on the solemn feasts of the
LORD our God.

00:45.800 --> 00:48.000
This is an ordinance for ever to Israel.

00:48.560 --> 00:53.120
And the house which I build is great,
for great is our God above all gods.

00:53.120 --> 00:57.380
But who is able to build him an house,
seeing the heaven and heaven of heavens

00:57.380 --> 00:58.200
cannot contain him?

00:58.880 --> 01:03.240
Who am I, then, that I should build him an
house, save only to burn sacrifice before

01:03.240 --> 01:03.520
him?

01:04.600 --> 01:09.560
Send me now, therefore, a man cunning to
work in gold, and in silver, and in brass,

01:09.680 --> 01:14.200
and in iron, and in purple, and crimson,
and blue, and that can skill to grave with

01:14.200 --> 01:18.280
the cunning men that are with me in Judah,
and in Jerusalem, whom David my father did

01:18.280 --> 01:18.720
provide.

01:19.360 --> 01:23.800
Send me also cedar trees, fir trees,
and algam trees out of Lebanon,

01:24.320 --> 01:27.380
for I know that thy servants can skill to
cut timber in Lebanon.

01:28.000 --> 01:32.220
And behold, my servants shall be with thy
servants, even to prepare me timber in

01:32.220 --> 01:36.480
abundance, for the house which I am about
to build shall be wonderful great.

01:37.220 --> 01:41.560
And behold, I will give to thy servants
the hewers that cut timber, twenty

01:41.560 --> 01:45.060
thousand measures of beet and wheat,
and twenty thousand measures of barley,

01:45.380 --> 01:48.840
and twenty thousand baths of wine,
and twenty thousand baths of oil.

01:49.260 --> 01:53.240
Then Huram, the king of Tyre, answered in
writing, which he sent to Solomon.

01:53.640 --> 01:58.080
Because the Lord hath loved his people,
he hath made thee king over them.

01:58.140 --> 02:03.100
Huram said, moreover, Blessed be the Lord
God of Israel, that made heaven and earth,

02:03.340 --> 02:08.100
who hath given to David the king a wise
son, endued with prudence and

02:08.100 --> 02:12.480
understanding, that might build an house
for the Lord, and an house for his

02:12.480 --> 02:12.800
kingdom.

02:13.600 --> 02:19.100
And now I have sent a cunning man,
endued with understanding, of Huram my

02:19.100 --> 02:22.620
father's, the son of a woman of the
daughters of Dan.

02:23.060 --> 02:27.920
And his father was a man of Tyre,
skillful to work in gold and in silver,

02:28.180 --> 02:34.540
in brass, in iron, in stone and in timber,
in purple, in blue, and in fine linen,

02:34.740 --> 02:40.740
and in crimson, also to grave any manner
of graving, and to find out every device

02:40.740 --> 02:45.340
which shall be put to him, with thy
cunning men, and with the cunning men of

02:45.340 --> 02:47.240
my lord David thy father.

02:48.080 --> 02:52.760
Now therefore the wheat, and the barley,
the oil, and the wine, which my lord hath

02:52.760 --> 02:55.540
spoken of, let him send unto his servants.

02:56.080 --> 03:00.920
And we will cut wood out of Lebanon,
as much as thou shalt need, and we will

03:00.920 --> 03:05.660
bring it to thee in floats by sea to
Joppa, and thou shalt carry it up to

03:05.660 --> 03:06.200
Jerusalem.

03:06.400 --> 03:09.220
And Solomon numbered all the strangers
that were in the land of Israel,

03:09.600 --> 03:12.340
after the numbering wherewith David his
father had numbered them.

03:12.720 --> 03:16.480
And they were found an hundred and fifty
thousand, and three thousand and six

03:16.480 --> 03:16.760
hundred.

03:17.580 --> 03:21.400
And he set threescore and ten thousand of
them to be bearers of burdens,

03:21.940 --> 03:25.880
and fourscore thousand to be hewers in the
mountain, and three thousand and six

03:25.880 --> 03:28.440
hundred overseers to set the people a
work.
