1 Reyes 5:9

Listen to 1 Reyes 5:9
9 Mis siervos las bajarán desde el Líbano hasta el mar; y haré de ellas balsas para ir por mar hasta el lugar adonde me indiques, y allí haré que las desaten y tú te las llevarás. Entonces cumplirás mi deseo dando alimento a mi casa.

1 Reyes 5:9 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 5:9

My servants shall bring [them] down from Lebanon unto the sea,
&c.] The Mediterranean sea, on which Tyre stood:

and I will convey them by sea in floats;
which were either a sort of carriage for the timber the Tyrians and Sidonians had, being furnished with various navigable vessels; or these were the timber itself, and the planks of it, which being fastened together, were set afloat under the direction of some boats with oars, of which they had plenty:

unto the place that thou shalt appoint me;
which was Joppa, as appears from ( 2 Chronicles 2:16 ) ; belonging to the land of Israel, in the same sea:

and will cause them to be discharged there;
either to be unloaded from the vessels, or to be unloosed and taken up separately:

and thou shalt receive [them];
by his servants appointed there to bring them to Jerusalem, which was forty miles from Joppa:

and thou shalt accomplish my desire in giving food for my household;
signifying, that all that he desired in return was, that he would supply him with corn or wheat, which he stood in need of, and his letter in Josephus F4 expresses; and we find in later times this place was supplied with bread corn from Judea, see ( Ezra 3:7 ) ( Ezekiel 27:17 ) ( Acts 12:20 ) .

1 Reyes 5:9 In-Context

7 Y sucedió que cuando Hiram oyó las palabras de Salomón, se alegró mucho y dijo: Bendito sea hoy el SEÑOR, que ha dado a David un hijo sabio sobre este pueblo tan numeroso.
8 Y envió Hiram respuesta a Salomón, diciendo: He oído el mensaje que me enviaste; haré lo que tú quieras en cuanto a las maderas de cedro y de ciprés.
9 Mis siervos las bajarán desde el Líbano hasta el mar; y haré de ellas balsas para ir por mar hasta el lugar adonde me indiques, y allí haré que las desaten y tú te las llevarás. Entonces cumplirás mi deseo dando alimento a mi casa.
10 Dio, pues, Hiram a Salomón todo lo que deseaba de las maderas de cedro y de ciprés.
11 Y Salomón daba a Hiram veinte mil coros de trigo como alimento para su casa, y veinte coros de aceite batido; esto daba Salomón a Hiram año tras año.
