1 Koningen 5:1-12

Voorbereiding voor de bouw van een tempel voor God
5 Koning Hiram van Tyrus hoorde dat Salomo de nieuwe koning was. Hij stuurde dienaren naar hem toe om hem te feliciteren. Want Hiram was altijd goed bevriend geweest met David. 2 Daarna stuurde Salomo hem een boodschap: 3 "U weet wel dat mijn vader David geen tempel voor zijn Heer God kon bouwen, omdat hij aldoor oorlog voerde. Uiteindelijk heeft de Heer al Davids vijanden overwonnen. 4 Nu heeft mijn Heer God mij aan alle kanten vrede gegeven. Er is geen enkele vijand en geen enkel gevaar. 5 Nu zou ik voor mijn Heer God een tempel willen bouwen. Want de Heer heeft tegen mijn vader David gezegd: 'Jouw zoon die Ik na jou koning zal maken, zal een tempel voor Mij bouwen.' 6 Wilt u alstublieft uw dienaren opdracht geven om voor mij op de Libanon cederbomen te kappen. Mijn dienaren zullen hen helpen. Ik zal uw dienaren betalen wat u wil. Want niemand heeft zoveel verstand van het kappen van bomen als de Sidoniërs."
7 Toen Hiram deze boodschap van Salomo kreeg, was hij erg blij. Hij zei: "Prijs de Heer! Hij heeft David een wijze zoon gegeven om over dit grote volk te regeren!" 8 En hij liet tegen Salomo zeggen: "Ik heb uw boodschap ontvangen. Ik zal alles doen wat u wenst wat betreft het cederhout en het cipressenhout. 9 Mijn dienaren zullen het van de Libanon naar de zee brengen en er daar vlotten van maken. Laat mij weten waar ik die vlotten naar toe moet laten brengen. Daar zal ik de vlotten weer uit elkaar laten halen, zodat u het hout kan ophalen. Als betaling levert u het eten voor mijn paleis." 10 Zo leverde Hiram aan Salomo zoveel cederhout en cipressenhout als Salomo wenste. 11 En Salomo betaalde Hiram hiervoor elk jaar 20.000 kor (5 miljoen liter) tarwe en 20 kor (500 liter) olijf-olie voor zijn paleis.
12 De Heer deed wat Hij had beloofd en maakte Salomo heel erg wijs. En er was vrede tussen Hiram en Salomo. Ze sloten een verbond met elkaar.

1 Kings 5:1-12
American Standard Version
5 And Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants unto Solomon; for he had heard that they had anointed him king in the room of his father: for Hiram was ever a lover of David. 2 And Solomon sent to Hiram, saying, 3 Thou knowest how that David my father could not build a house for the name of Jehovah his God for the wars which were about him on every side, until Jehovah put them under the soles of his feet. 4 But now Jehovah my God hath given me rest on every side; there is neither adversary, nor evil occurrence. 5 And, behold, I purpose to build a house for the name of Jehovah my God, as Jehovah spake unto David my father, saying, Thy son, whom I will set upon thy throne in thy room, he shall build the house for my name. 6 Now therefore command thou that they cut me cedar-trees out of Lebanon; and my servants shall be with thy servants; and I will give thee hire for thy servants according to all that thou shalt say: for thou knowest that there is not among us any that knoweth how to cut timber like unto the Sidonians.
7 And it came to pass, when Hiram heard the words of Solomon, that he rejoiced greatly, and said, Blessed be Jehovah this day, who hath given unto David a wise son over this great people. 8 And Hiram sent to Solomon, saying, I have heard the message which thou hast sent unto me: I will do all thy desire concerning timber of cedar, and concerning timber of [a]fir. 9 My servants shall bring them down from Lebanon unto the sea; and I will make them into rafts to go by sea unto the place that thou shalt appoint me, and will cause them to be broken up there, and thou shalt [b]receive them; and thou shalt accomplish my desire, in giving food for my household. 10 So [c]Hiram gave Solomon timber of cedar and timber of fir according to all his desire. 11 And Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand [d]measures of wheat for food to his household, and twenty measures of [e]pure oil: thus gave Solomon to Hiram year by year. 12 And Jehovah gave Solomon wisdom, as he promised him; and there was peace between Hiram and Solomon; and they two made a league together.

King James Version
5 And Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants unto Solomon; for he had heard that they had anointed him king in the room of his father: for Hiram was ever a lover of David.
2 And Solomon sent to Hiram, saying,
3 Thou knowest how that David my father could not build an house unto the name of the Lord his God for the wars which were about him on every side, until the Lord put them under the soles of his feet.
4 But now the Lord my God hath given me rest on every side, so that there is neither adversary nor evil occurrent.
5 And, behold, I purpose to build an house unto the name of the Lord my God, as the Lord spake unto David my father, saying, Thy son, whom I will set upon thy throne in thy room, he shall build an house unto my name.
6 Now therefore command thou that they hew me cedar trees out of Lebanon; and my servants shall be with thy servants: and unto thee will I give hire for thy servants according to all that thou shalt appoint: for thou knowest that there is not among us any that can skill to hew timber like unto the Sidonians.
7 And it came to pass, when Hiram heard the words of Solomon, that he rejoiced greatly, and said, Blessed be the Lord this day, which hath given unto David a wise son over this great people.
8 And Hiram sent to Solomon, saying, I have considered the things which thou sentest to me for: and I will do all thy desire concerning timber of cedar, and concerning timber of fir.
9 My servants shall bring them down from Lebanon unto the sea: and I will convey them by sea in floats unto the place that thou shalt appoint me, and will cause them to be discharged there, and thou shalt receive them: and thou shalt accomplish my desire, in giving food for my household.
10 So Hiram gave Solomon cedar trees and fir trees according to all his desire.
11 And Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand measures of wheat for food to his household, and twenty measures of pure oil: thus gave Solomon to Hiram year by year.
12 And the Lord gave Solomon wisdom, as he promised him: and there was peace between Hiram and Solomon; and they two made a league together.
