4 and innumerable cedar logs from the Sidonians and the Tyrians, who gave them to David. 5 David thought, My son Solomon is too inexperienced to build the Lord’s temple.

4 He also provided more cedar logs(A) than could be counted, for the Sidonians and Tyrians had brought large numbers of them to David.
