역대하 2장 NASB

1. ¹ Now Solomon decided to build a house for the name of the LORD and a royal palace for himself.
2. ² So Solomon assigned 70000 men to carry loads and 80000 men to quarry stone in the mountains and 3600 to supervise them.
3. ³ Then Solomon sent word to Huram the king of Tyre saying "As you dealt with David my father and sent him cedars to build him a house to dwell in so do for me.
4. ⁴ "Behold I am about to build a house for the name of the LORD my God dedicating it to Him to burn fragrant incense before Him and to set out the showbread continually and to offer burnt offerings morning and evening on sabbaths and on new moons and on the appointed feasts of the LORD our God this being required forever in Israel.
5. ⁵ "The house which I am about to build will be great for greater is our God than all the gods.
6. ⁶ "But who is able to build a house for Him for the heavens and the highest heavens cannot contain Him? So who am I that I should build a house for Him except to burn incense before Him?
7. ⁷ "Now send me a skilled man to work in gold silver brass and iron and in purple crimson and violet fabrics and who knows how to make engravings to work with the skilled men whom I have in Judah and Jerusalem whom David my father provided.
8. ⁸ "Send me also cedar cypress and algum timber from Lebanon for I know that your servants know how to cut timber of Lebanon; and indeed my servants will work with your servants
9. ⁹ to prepare timber in abundance for me for the house which I am about to build will be great and wonderful.
10. ¹⁰ "Now behold I will give to your servants the woodsmen who cut the timber 20000 kors of crushed wheat and 20000 kors of barley and 20000 baths of wine and 20000 baths of oil."
11. ¹¹ Then Huram king of Tyre answered in a letter sent to Solomon: "Because the LORD loves His people He has made you king over them."
12. ¹² Then Huram continued "Blessed be the LORD the God of Israel who has made heaven and earth who has given King David a wise son endowed with discretion and understanding who will build a house for the LORD and a royal palace for himself.
13. ¹³ "Now I am sending Huram-abi a skilled man endowed with understanding
14. ¹⁴ the son of a Danite woman and a Tyrian father who knows how to work in gold silver bronze iron stone and wood and in purple violet linen and crimson fabrics and who knows how to make all kinds of engravings and to execute any design which may be assigned to him to work with your skilled men and with those of my lord David your father.
15. ¹⁵ "Now then let my lord send to his servants wheat and barley oil and wine of which he has spoken.
16. ¹⁶ "We will cut whatever timber you need from Lebanon and bring it to you on rafts by sea to Joppa so that you may carry it up to Jerusalem."
17. ¹⁷ Solomon numbered all the aliens who were in the land of Israel following the census which his father David had taken; and 153600 were found.
18. ¹⁸ He appointed 70000 of them to carry loads and 80000 to quarry stones in the mountains and 3600 supervisors to make the people work.
