所罗门定意建殿
2 所罗门定意要为耶和华的名建造殿宇，又为自己的国建造宫室。 2 所罗门就挑选七万扛抬的，八万在山上凿石头的，三千六百督工的。 3 所罗门差人去见推罗王希兰，说：“你曾运香柏木于我父大卫建宫居住，求你也这样待我。 4 我要为耶和华我神的名建造殿宇，分别为圣献给他，在他面前焚烧美香，常摆陈设饼，每早晚、安息日、月朔并耶和华我们神所定的节期献燔祭。这是以色列人永远的定例。 5 我所要建造的殿宇甚大，因为我们的神至大，超乎诸神。 6 天和天上的天尚且不足他居住的，谁能为他建造殿宇呢？我是谁，能为他建造殿宇吗？不过在他面前烧香而已。 7 现在求你差一个巧匠来，就是善用金、银、铜、铁和紫色、朱红色、蓝色线，并精于雕刻之工的巧匠，与我父大卫在犹大和耶路撒冷所预备的巧匠一同做工。 8 又求你从黎巴嫩运些香柏木、松木、檀香木到我这里来，因我知道你的仆人善于砍伐黎巴嫩的树木，我的仆人也必与你的仆人同工。 9 这样，可以给我预备许多的木料，因我要建造的殿宇高大出奇。 10 你的仆人砍伐树木，我必给他们打好了的小麦二万歌珥，大麦二万歌珥，酒二万罢特，油二万罢特。”
推罗王希兰允助其成
11 推罗王希兰写信回答所罗门说：“耶和华因为爱他的子民，所以立你做他们的王。” 12 又说：“创造天地的耶和华以色列的神是应当称颂的！他赐给大卫王一个有智慧的儿子，使他有谋略聪明，可以为耶和华建造殿宇，又为自己的国建造宫室。 13 现在我打发一个精巧有聪明的人去，他是我父亲希兰所用的， 14 是但支派一个妇人的儿子，他父亲是推罗人。他善用金、银、铜、铁、石、木，和紫色、蓝色、朱红色线与细麻制造各物，并精于雕刻，又能想出各样的巧工。请你派定这人与你的巧匠和你父我主大卫的巧匠一同做工。 15 我主所说的小麦、大麦、酒、油，愿我主运来给众仆人。 16 我们必照你所需用的，从黎巴嫩砍伐树木，扎成筏子，浮海运到约帕，你可以从那里运到耶路撒冷。”
所罗门选匠派工
17 所罗门仿照他父大卫，数点住在以色列地所有寄居的外邦人，共有十五万三千六百名， 18 使七万人扛抬材料，八万人在山上凿石头，三千六百人督理工作。

预备建圣殿
2 所罗门决定为耶和华的名建造殿宇，也为自己兴建王宫。
2 他征用七万名搬运工、八万名在山上凿石的匠人、三千六百名监工， 3 并派人去见泰尔王希兰，说：“你曾运香柏木给我父亲建造王宫，请你也照样帮助我。 4 现在，我要为我的上帝耶和华的名建一座殿，我要把殿献给祂，在祂面前烧芬芳的香，经常献上供饼，在每天早晚、安息日、朔日[a]及我们的上帝耶和华所定的节期献上燔祭。这是以色列人应当永远遵守的定例。 5 我要建造的殿宇极其宏伟，因为我们的上帝超越一切神明。 6 诸天尚且容纳不下祂，谁能为祂建造殿宇呢？我是谁，怎能为祂建造殿宇？我不过是建个向祂烧香的地方。 7 现在，请你派一位巧匠来，他要懂得雕刻，会用金银铜铁铸造物品，会编织紫色、朱红色和蓝色的布，好与我父大卫在犹大和耶路撒冷所预备的巧匠一起工作。 8 也请你从黎巴嫩运些香柏木、松木和檀香木来，因为我知道你的仆人擅长砍伐黎巴嫩的树木。我会派人与你的仆人一起工作。 9 我要建的殿宇非常宏伟，所以需要的木料非常多。 10 我会供给你的伐木工人四百四十万升小麦、四百四十万升大麦、四十四万升酒和四十四万升油。”
11 泰尔王希兰写信给所罗门说：“耶和华爱祂的子民，所以立你做他们的王。 12 创造天地的以色列的上帝耶和华当受称颂！祂赐给大卫王一个有智慧、谋略和悟性的儿子来为耶和华建殿，也为他自己建造王宫。 13 现在，我派聪明能干的巧匠户兰去你那里。 14 他的母亲是但支派的人，父亲是泰尔人。他精于雕刻和设计，善用金银铜铁和木石制造物品，又会编织紫色、蓝色、朱红色的布和细麻布。你可以让他与你的工匠和你父亲大卫的工匠一起工作。 15 现在，请我主把许诺的小麦、大麦、油和酒运给仆人。 16 我们会在黎巴嫩砍伐你需要的木材，扎成木筏，经海道运到约帕，你可以从那里将木材转运到耶路撒冷。”
17 所罗门依照他父亲大卫的方法，统计所有寄居在以色列的外族人，共有十五万三千六百人。 18 他指派其中的七万人做搬运工，八万人在山上采凿石头，三千六百人做监工。

2 Chronicles 2
International Children’s Bible
Solomon Prepares for the Temple
2 Solomon decided to build a temple as a place to worship the Lord. He also decided to build a palace for himself. 2 He chose 70,000 men to carry things. He chose 80,000 men to cut stone in the mountains. And he chose 3,600 men to direct the workers.
3 Then Solomon sent a message to Hiram king of the city of Tyre. Solomon said:
Help me as you helped my father David. You sent him cedar logs so he could build himself a palace to live in. 4 I will build a temple as a place to worship the Lord my God. And I will give this temple to the Lord. There we will burn sweet-smelling spices in his presence. We will set out the bread that shows we are in God’s presence. And we will burn sacrifices every morning and evening. We will worship him on Sabbath days and New Moons. And we will worship him on the other feast days the Lord our God has commanded us to celebrate. This is a rule for Israel to obey forever.
5 The temple I build will be great. This is because our God is greater than all gods. 6 But no one can really build a house for our God. Not even the highest of heavens can hold God. How then can I build a temple for him? I can only build a place to burn sacrifices to God.
7 Now send me a man skilled in working with gold, silver, bronze and iron. He must know how to work with purple, red and blue thread. He must know how to make engravings. He will work with my skilled craftsmen in Judah and Jerusalem. These are the men my father David chose.
8 Also send me cedar, pine and juniper logs from Lebanon. I know your servants are experienced at cutting down the trees in Lebanon. My servants will help them. 9 Send me a lot of wood. The temple I am going to build will be large and wonderful. 10 I will give your servants who cut the wood 125,000 bushels of wheat. And I will give them 125,000 bushels of barley, 115,000 gallons of wine and 115,000 gallons of oil.
11 Then Hiram king of Tyre answered Solomon with this letter:
Solomon, the Lord loves his people. That is why he chose you to be their king.
12 Hiram also said:
Praise the Lord, the God of Israel! He made heaven and earth! He gave King David a wise son. Solomon, you have wisdom and understanding. You will build a temple for the Lord and a palace for yourself.
13 I will send you a skilled and wise man named Huram-Abi. 14 His mother was from the people of Dan. And his father was from Tyre. Huram-Abi has skill in working with gold, silver, bronze, iron, stone and wood. He has skill in working with purple, blue and red thread and expensive linen. And he is skilled in making engravings. He can make any design you show him. He will help your craftsmen and the craftsmen of your father David.
15 Now send my servants the wheat, barley, oil and wine you promised. 16 We will cut as much wood from Lebanon as you need. We will use rafts to carry it by sea to Joppa. Then you may carry it to Jerusalem.
17 Solomon counted all the foreigners living in Israel. This was after the time his father David had counted the people. There were 153,600 foreigners in the country. 18 Solomon chose 70,000 of them to carry things. He chose 80,000 of them to cut stone in the mountains. And he chose 3,600 of them to direct the workers. They were to keep the people working.
