1 Kings 5:8-10

New Revised Standard Version, Anglicised

⁸ Hiram sent word to Solomon, ‘I have heard the message that you have sent to me; I will fulfil all your needs in the matter of cedar and cypress timber. ⁹ My servants shall bring it down to the sea from the Lebanon; I will make it into rafts to go by sea to the place you indicate. I will have them broken up there for you to take away. And you shall meet my needs by providing food for my household.’ ¹⁰ So Hiram supplied Solomon’s every need for timber of cedar and cypress.
