1 Kings 5:10 In-Context

8 Hiram sent word back to Solomon: "I have heard your message to me. I will do as you wish with the cedar and pinewood.
9 My servants will bring the wood down the Lebanon Mountains to the sea. I'll make rafts out of them and float them on the sea to the place you specify. There I'll dismantle them, and you can carry them away. Now, as for what you must do for me in return, I ask you to provide for my royal house."
10 So Hiram gave Solomon all the cedar and pinewood that he wanted.
11 In return, Solomon gave an annual gift to Hiram of twenty thousand kors of wheat to eat, and twenty thousand kors of pure oil for his palace use.
12 Now the LORD made Solomon wise, just as he had promised. Solomon and Hiram made a covenant and had peace.
