1 Kings 5:8-10

Expanded Bible

⁸ Then Hiram sent back this message to Solomon: “I ·received [heard] the message you sent, and I will ·give you [supply] all the cedar and ·pine trees [cypress; juniper] you ·want [need]. ⁹ My servants will bring them down from Lebanon to the sea. There I will ·tie them together [^Lmake them into rafts] and ·float them along the shore [go by sea] to the place you choose. Then I will separate the logs there, and you can take them away. ·In return it is my wish that you give [And you shall meet my needs/desire by providing] food to ·all those who live with me [^Lmy household].” ¹⁰ So Hiram gave Solomon as much cedar and ·pine [cypress; juniper] as he wanted.
