所羅門準備建殿(A)
2 所羅門吩咐要為耶和華的名建造殿宇，又為自己的王國建造宮殿。 2 所羅門徵召七萬名扛抬的，八萬個在山上鑿石頭的人，三千六百個監工。 3 所羅門派人去見推羅王希蘭[a]，說：「你曾運香柏木給我父親大衛建造宮殿居住，請你也這樣待我。 4 看哪，我要為耶和華—我 神的名建造殿宇，分別為聖獻給他，在他面前燒芬芳的香，經常獻供餅，每早晚、安息日、初一，以及耶和華—我們 神所定的節期獻燔祭。這是以色列人永遠的定例。 5 我所要建造的殿宇宏大，因為我們的 神至大，超乎眾神。 6 天和天上的天，尚且不足他居住，誰能為他建造殿宇呢？我是誰，能為他建造殿宇嗎？不過在他面前燒香而已！ 7 現在請你派一個巧匠來，就是善用金、銀、銅、鐵，和紫色、朱紅色、藍色線做工，並精於雕刻之工的巧匠，與跟我一起在猶大和耶路撒冷、我父親大衛所預備的巧匠一同做工； 8 又請你從黎巴嫩運香柏木、松木、檀香木到我這裏來，因我知道你的僕人擅長砍伐黎巴嫩的樹木。看哪，我的僕人必幫助你的僕人， 9 好為我預備許多的木料，因我要建造的殿宇高大出奇。 10 看哪，我必給你僕人，就是砍伐樹木的伐木工，二萬歌珥壓碎的小麥[b]，二萬歌珥大麥，二萬罷特酒，二萬罷特油。」
11 推羅王希蘭寫信回答所羅門說：「耶和華因為愛他的百姓，所以立你作他們的王。」 12 又說：「創造天和地的耶和華—以色列的 神是應當稱頌的！他賜給大衛王一個有智慧的兒子，使他有見識，有聰明，可以為耶和華建造殿宇，又為自己的王國建造宮殿。
13 「現在我派一個精巧聰明的人去，他是我的師父戶蘭， 14 是但支派一個婦人的兒子，父親是推羅人。他善用金、銀、銅、鐵、石、木，和紫色、藍色、細麻和朱紅色線製造各物，並精於雕刻，又能設計各樣交給他做的圖案。我派這人與你的巧匠和你父親—我主大衛的巧匠一同做工。 15 我主所說的小麥、大麥、酒、油，請運來給眾僕人。 16 我們必照你所需用的，從黎巴嫩砍伐樹木，紮成筏子，浮海運到約帕；你可以從那裏運到耶路撒冷。」
17 所羅門仿照他父親大衛數點所有在以色列地寄居的外邦人，共有十五萬三千六百名。 18 他叫其中的七萬人作扛抬，八萬人在山上鑿石頭，三千六百人監督百姓工作。

Preparations for Building the Temple(A)
2 [a]Solomon gave orders to build a temple(B) for the Name of the Lord and a royal palace for himself.(C) 2 He conscripted 70,000 men as carriers and 80,000 as stonecutters in the hills and 3,600 as foremen over them.(D)
3 Solomon sent this message to Hiram[b](E) king of Tyre:
“Send me cedar logs(F) 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(G) for the Name of the Lord my God and to dedicate it to him for burning fragrant incense(H) before him, for setting out the consecrated bread(I) regularly, and for making burnt offerings(J) every morning and evening and on the Sabbaths,(K) at the New Moons(L) and at the appointed festivals of the Lord our God. This is a lasting ordinance for Israel.
5 “The temple I am going to build will be great,(M) because our God is greater than all other gods.(N) 6 But who is able to build a temple for him, since the heavens, even the highest heavens, cannot contain him?(O) Who then am I(P) to build a temple for him, except as a place to burn sacrifices before him?
7 “Send me, therefore, a man skilled to work in gold and silver, bronze and iron, and in purple, crimson and blue yarn, and experienced in the art of engraving, to work in Judah and Jerusalem with my skilled workers,(Q) whom my father David provided.
8 “Send me also cedar, juniper and algum[c] logs from Lebanon, for I know that your servants are skilled in cutting timber there. My servants will work with yours 9 to provide me with plenty of lumber, because the temple I build must be large and magnificent. 10 I will give your servants, the woodsmen who cut the timber, twenty thousand cors[d] of ground wheat, twenty thousand cors[e] of barley, twenty thousand baths[f] of wine and twenty thousand baths of olive oil.(R)”
11 Hiram king of Tyre replied by letter to Solomon:
“Because the Lord loves(S) his people, he has made you their king.”
12 And Hiram added:
“Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, who made heaven and earth!(T) He has given King David a wise son, endowed with intelligence and discernment, who will build a temple for the Lord and a palace for himself.
13 “I am sending you Huram-Abi,(U) a man of great skill, 14 whose mother was from Dan(V) and whose father was from Tyre. He is trained(W) to work in gold and silver, bronze and iron, stone and wood, and with purple and blue(X) and crimson yarn and fine linen. He is experienced in all kinds of engraving and can execute any design given to him. He will work with your skilled workers and with those of my lord, David your father.
15 “Now let my lord send his servants the wheat and barley and the olive oil(Y) and wine he promised, 16 and we will cut all the logs from Lebanon that you need and will float them as rafts by sea down to Joppa.(Z) You can then take them up to Jerusalem.”
17 Solomon took a census of all the foreigners(AA) residing in Israel, after the census(AB) his father David had taken; and they were found to be 153,600. 18 He assigned(AC) 70,000 of them to be carriers and 80,000 to be stonecutters in the hills, with 3,600 foremen over them to keep the people working.

2 Chronicles 2
King James Version
2 And Solomon determined to build an house for the name of the Lord, and an house for his kingdom.
2 And Solomon told out threescore and ten thousand men to bear burdens, and fourscore thousand to hew in the mountain, and three thousand and six hundred to oversee them.
3 And Solomon sent to Huram the king of Tyre, saying, As thou didst deal with David my father, and didst send him cedars to build him an house to dwell therein, even so deal with me.
4 Behold, I build an house to the name of the Lord my God, to dedicate it to him, and to burn before him sweet incense, and for the continual shewbread, and for the burnt offerings morning and evening, on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the solemn feasts of the Lord our God. This is an ordinance for ever to Israel.
5 And the house which I build is great: for great is our God above all gods.
6 But who is able to build him an house, seeing the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain him? who am I then, that I should build him an house, save only to burn sacrifice before him?
7 Send me now therefore a man cunning to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, and in iron, and in purple, and crimson, and blue, and that can skill to grave with the cunning men that are with me in Judah and in Jerusalem, whom David my father did provide.
8 Send me also cedar trees, fir trees, and algum trees, out of Lebanon: for I know that thy servants can skill to cut timber in Lebanon; and, behold, my servants shall be with thy servants,
9 Even to prepare me timber in abundance: for the house which I am about to build shall be wonderful great.
10 And, behold, I will give to thy servants, the hewers that cut timber, twenty thousand measures of beaten wheat, and twenty thousand measures of barley, and twenty thousand baths of wine, and twenty thousand baths of oil.
11 Then Huram the king of Tyre answered in writing, which he sent to Solomon, Because the Lord hath loved his people, he hath made thee king over them.
12 Huram said moreover, Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, that made heaven and earth, who hath given to David the king a wise son, endued with prudence and understanding, that might build an house for the Lord, and an house for his kingdom.
13 And now I have sent a cunning man, endued with understanding, of Huram my father's,
14 The son of a woman of the daughters of Dan, and his father was a man of Tyre, skilful to work in gold, and in silver, in brass, in iron, in stone, and in timber, in purple, in blue, and in fine linen, and in crimson; also to grave any manner of graving, and to find out every device which shall be put to him, with thy cunning men, and with the cunning men of my lord David thy father.
15 Now therefore the wheat, and the barley, the oil, and the wine, which my lord hath spoken of, let him send unto his servants:
16 And we will cut wood out of Lebanon, as much as thou shalt need: and we will bring it to thee in floats by sea to Joppa; and thou shalt carry it up to Jerusalem.
17 And Solomon numbered all the strangers that were in the land of Israel, after the numbering wherewith David his father had numbered them; and they were found an hundred and fifty thousand and three thousand and six hundred.
18 And he set threescore and ten thousand of them to be bearers of burdens, and fourscore thousand to be hewers in the mountain, and three thousand and six hundred overseers to set the people a work.
