2 Chronicles 2:15 Meaning and Commentary

2 Chronicles 2:15

Now therefore, the wheat, and the barley, the oil, and the
wine, which my lord hath spoken of
In his letter to him, ( 2 Chronicles 2:10 ) as for the phrase "my lord", which some think is used, because Hiram was tributary to Solomon, it may only be a respectful way of speaking:

let him send unto his servants;
Hiram accepted thereof as a proper reward for the work of his servants.

2 Chronicles 2:15 In-Context

13 "I'm sending Huram-Abi to you. He is very skillful.

14 His mother was from Dan. His father was from Tyre. He is trained to work with gold, silver, bronze and iron. He knows how to work with stone and wood. He can also work with purple, blue and bright red yarn and fine linen. He's skilled in all kinds of carving. He can follow any pattern you give him. He'll work with your skilled workers. He'll also work with those of your father David. David was my master.

15 "Now please send us what you promised. Send us the wheat, barley, olive oil and wine.

16 And we'll cut all of the logs from Lebanon you need. We'll make rafts out of them. We'll float them by sea down to Joppa. Then you can take them up to Jerusalem."

17 Solomon counted all of the outsiders who were living in Israel. He did it after his father David had counted them. There were 153,600 of them.
