Lièwángjìshang 5:2 Meaning and Commentary

1 Kings 5:2

And Solomon sent to Hiram
A letter, either by the hand of his ambassadors when they returned, as Kimchi thinks, or by ambassadors Solomon sent on purpose. Josephus ^F23 appeals to the Tyrian archives for the genuineness of these letters that passed between Hiram and Solomon; and Eupolemus, an Heathen writer ^F24 has both this which Solomon sent to Hiram, and that which Hiram sent in answer to it, which agree with those in the sacred records:

saying:
as follows.
