1 Kings 5:8-10

New International Reader's Version

⁸ So Hiram sent a message to Solomon. Hiram said,

“I have received the message you sent me. I’ll do everything you want me to. I’ll provide the cedar and juniper logs. ⁹ My men will bring them from Lebanon down to the Mediterranean Sea. I’ll make them into rafts. I’ll float them to the place you want me to. When the rafts arrive, I’ll separate the logs from each other. Then you can take them away. And here’s what I want in return. Provide food for all the people in my palace.”

¹⁰ So Hiram supplied Solomon with all the cedar and juniper logs he wanted.
