Hiram agrees to supply timber

Having received Solomon’s request, Hiram replied saying that he had received his request for cedar and fir, and all the things that he desired, and that he would do as he asked of him in return for food for his household. Hiram said that his servants would bring the lumbar down from Lebanon to the sea by floats to the appointed place, and made available for pick up to be used for his purposes.  So Hiram gave Solomon cedars and firs for his use. And Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand measures of wheat for food for his household and twenty thousand measures of oil each year.  And the Lord gave Solomon wisdom as He had promised him; and there was peace between Hiram and Solomon and they made a pact between them. And Solomon levied a tax on all Israel amounting to thirty thousand men. And he sent them to Lebanon, ten thousand a month by courses a month they were in Lebanon, and two months at home; and Adoniram was over the Levy.  And Solomon had seventy thousand that bore burdens and fourscore thousand hewing in the mountains. And the chief of Solomon’s officers, which were over the work, three thousand three hundred which ruled over the people that did the work. And the king commanded and they brought great stones; costly stones and hewed stones, to lay the foundation of the house.
