Melachim Alef 5:15-17

Orthodox Jewish Bible

^15 (5:1) And Chiram Melech Tzor sent his avadim unto Sh’lomo; for he had heard that they had anointed him Melech in the place of his av; for Chiram was ever an ohev (friend) of Dovid.

^16 (5:2) And Sh’lomo sent to Chiram, saying,

^17 (5:3) Thou knowest how that Dovid Avi could not build Bayit unto the Shem of Hashem Elohav due to the milchamah which was about him on every side, until Hashem put them under the kappot (soles) of his raglayim.
