And Hiram king of Tyre sent messengers to David, and cedar timbers, with masons and carpenters, to build him a house.

As David sat in his house, he said to Nathan the prophet, Behold, I dwell in a house of cedars, but the ark of the covenant of the Lord remains under tent curtains.

Wherever I have walked with all Israel, did I say a word to any of the judges of Israel whom I commanded to feed My people, saying, Why have you not built Me a house of cedar?

Also cedar trees without number, for the Sidonians and they of Tyre brought much cedar timber to David.
