Then Solomon sent to [a]Hiram king of Tyre, saying:

(A)As you have dealt with David my father, and sent him cedars to build himself a house to dwell in, so deal with me. Behold, (B)I am building a temple for the name of the Lord my God, to dedicate it to Him, (C)to burn before Him [b]sweet incense, for (D)the continual showbread, for (E)the burnt offerings morning and evening, on the (F)Sabbaths, on the New Moons, and on the [c]set feasts of the Lord our God. This is an ordinance forever to Israel.

And the temple which I build will be great, for (G)our God is greater than all gods.
