2 Chronicles 2:2-4
Modern English Version
2 And Solomon designated seventy thousand men to carry materials, eighty thousand men to cut stone in the hills, and three thousand six hundred supervisors to oversee these men.
3 And Solomon sent word to Hiram[a] king of Tyre saying,
“As you did for David my father and sent him cedar trees in order to build for himself a house in which to dwell, so deal with me. 4 I am going to build a temple for the name of the Lord my God, sanctified for Him, for making sacrifices before Him, and for incense of fragrant spices, and for the continual showbread, for burnt offerings on both morning and evening, and for Sabbaths, New Moons, and appointed feasts of the Lord our God, as an ordinance forever for Israel.
