2 Chronicles 2:3-5
New English Translation

3 Solomon sent a message to King Huram[a] of Tyre: “Help me[b] as you did my father David, when you sent him cedar logs[c] for the construction of his palace.[d] 4 Look, I am ready to build a temple to honor[e] the Lord my God and to dedicate it to him in order to burn fragrant incense before him, to set out the bread that is regularly displayed,[f] and to offer burnt sacrifices each morning and evening, and on Sabbaths, new moon festivals, and at other times appointed by the Lord our God. This is something Israel must do on a permanent basis.[g] 5 I will build a great temple, for our God is greater than all gods.
