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
Then Hiram sent a reply to Solomon, saying: “I have received your message; I will do all you desire regarding the cedar and cypress timber.
9
My servants will haul the logs from Lebanon to the Sea, and I will float them as rafts by sea to the place you specify. There I will separate the logs, and you can take them away. And in exchange, you can meet my needs by providing my household with food.”
10
So Hiram provided Solomon with all the cedar and cypress timber he wanted,
11
and year after year Solomon would provide Hiram with 20,000 cors of wheat as food for his household, as well as 20,000 baths of pure olive oil.
12
And the LORD gave Solomon wisdom, as He had promised him. There was peace between Hiram and Solomon, and the two of them made a treaty.
