My servants will bring the timbers down from Lebanon to the sea; and I will have them made into rafts to go by sea (A)to the place where you [a]direct me, and I will have them broken up there, and you will carry them away. Then (B)you shall do what I wish, by giving food to my household.” 10 So [b]Hiram [c]gave Solomon all that he wished of the cedar and juniper timber. 11 (C)Solomon then gave [d]Hiram [e]twenty thousand kors of wheat as food for his household, and [f]twenty kors of pure oil; this is what Solomon would give Hiram year by year.
