Solomon prepares to build the temple
2 [a] Solomon gave orders to build a temple for the Lord’s name and to build a royal palace for himself. 2 [b] To work in the highlands, Solomon drafted 70,000 laborers, 80,000 stonecutters, and 3,600 supervisors. 3 Solomon sent the following message to King Huram[c] of Tyre:
When my father David was building his palace, you sent him cedar logs.
