So Hiram, gave Solomon cedar trees, and fir trees Ordered his servants to cut them down from Lebanon, and sent them to him in floats, which he received:
[according to] all his desire; he had as many as he requested, and what he wanted.
8
And Hiram sent to Solomon, saying, "I have heard the message that you have sent to me. I am ready to do all you desire in the matter of cedar and cypress timber.
9
My servants shall bring it down to the sea from Lebanon, and I will make it into rafts to go by sea to the place you direct. And I will have them broken up there, and you shall receive it. And you shall meet my wishes by providing food for my household."
10
So Hiram supplied Solomon with all the timber of cedar and cypress that he desired,
11
while Solomon gave Hiram 20,000 cors of wheat as food for his household, and 20,000 cors of beaten oil. Solomon gave this to Hiram year by year.
12
And the LORD gave Solomon wisdom, as he promised him. And there was peace between Hiram and Solomon, and the two of them made a treaty.
