2 Chronicles 2:8-10
Easy-to-Read Version
8 Also send me wood from cedar trees, pine trees, and algum trees[a] from the country of Lebanon. I know your servants are experienced at cutting down trees from Lebanon. My servants will help your servants. 9 I will need lots of wood because the Temple I am building will be very large and beautiful. 10 This is what I will pay for your servants to cut down the trees for wood. I will give them 125,000 bushels[b] of wheat for food, 125,000 bushels of barley, 115,000 gallons[c] of wine, and 115,000 gallons of oil.”
