1 Kings 5:6-8
New English Translation
6 So now order some cedars of Lebanon to be cut for me. My servants will work with your servants. I will pay your servants whatever you say is appropriate, for you know that we have no one among us who knows how to cut down trees like the Sidonians.”
7 When Hiram heard Solomon’s message, he was very happy. He said, “The Lord is worthy of praise today because he[a] has given David a wise son to rule over this great nation.” 8 Hiram then sent this message to Solomon: “I received[b] the message you sent to me. I will give you all the cedars and evergreens you need.[c]
