Solomon Enlists King Hiram’s Help to Build the Temple(A)
2 [a]Now Solomon was determined[b] to build a temple dedicated to the Name of the Lord as well as his own royal palace. 2 [c]So Solomon conscripted 70,000 men to do heavy work, 80,000 men to quarry in the hill country, and 3,600 to supervise them. 3 Solomon also sent this message to King Hiram[d] of Tyre:
“Just as you did with my father David, sending him cedars to build him a palace to live in, do the same for me.
