2 Chronicles 2:3-5
New King James Version
3 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. 4 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.
5 And the temple which I build will be great, for (G)our God is greater than all gods.

3 Solomon sent this message to Hiram[a](A) king of Tyre:
“Send me cedar logs(B) as you did for my father David when you sent him cedar to build a palace to live in. 4 Now I am about to build a temple(C) for the Name of the Lord my God and to dedicate it to him for burning fragrant incense(D) before him, for setting out the consecrated bread(E) regularly, and for making burnt offerings(F) every morning and evening and on the Sabbaths,(G) at the New Moons(H) and at the appointed festivals of the Lord our God. This is a lasting ordinance for Israel.
