1 Kin 5:8 So Hiram sent word to Solomon, saying, "I have heard the message which you have sent me; I will do what you desire concerning the cedar and cypress timber.
1 Kin 5:9 "My servants will bring them down from Lebanon to the sea; and I will make them into rafts to go by sea to the place where you direct me, and I will have them broken up there, and you shall carry them away. Then you shall accomplish my desire by giving food to my household."
1 Kin 5:10 So Hiram gave Solomon as much as he desired of the cedar and cypress timber.
1 Kin 5:11 Solomon then gave Hiram 20,000 kors of wheat as food for his household, and twenty kors of beaten oil; thus Solomon would give Hiram year by year.
1 Kin 5:12 The LORD gave wisdom to Solomon, just as He promised him; and there was peace between Hiram and Solomon, and the two of them made a covenant.
1 Kin 5:13 ¶ Now King Solomon levied forced laborers from all Israel; and the forced laborers numbered 30,000 men.
1 Kin 5:14 He sent them to Lebanon, 10,000 a month in relays; they were in Lebanon a month and two months at home. And Adoniram was over the forced laborers.
1 Kin 5:15 Now Solomon had 70,000 transporters, and 80,000 hewers of stone in the mountains,
1 Kin 5:16 besides Solomon's 3,300 chief deputies who were over the project and who ruled over the people who were doing the work.
1 Kin 6:1 Now it came about in the four hundred and eightieth year after the sons of Israel came out of the land of Egypt, in the fourth year of Solomon's reign over Israel, in the month of Ziv which is the second month, that he began to build the house of the LORD.
1 Kin 6:2 As for the house which King Solomon built for the LORD, its length was sixty cubits and its width twenty cubits and its height thirty cubits.
1 Kin 6:3 The porch in front of the nave of the house was twenty cubits in length, corresponding to the width of the house, and its depth along the front of the house was ten cubits.
1 Kin 6:4 Also for the house he made windows with artistic frames.
1 Kin 6:5 Against the wall of the house he built stories encompassing the walls of the house around both the nave and the inner sanctuary; thus he made side chambers all around.
1 Kin 6:6 The lowest story was five cubits wide, and the middle was six cubits wide, and the third was seven cubits wide; for on the outside he made offsets in the wall of the house all around in order that the beams would not be inserted in the walls of the house.
1 Kin 6:7 ¶ The house, while it was being built, was built of stone prepared at the quarry, and there was neither hammer nor axe nor any iron tool heard in the house while it was being built.
1 Kin 6:8 ¶ The doorway for the lowest side chamber was on the right side of the house; and they would go up by winding stairs to the middle story, and from the middle to the third.
1 Kin 6:9 So he built the house and finished it; and he covered the house with beams and planks of cedar.
1 Kin 6:10 He also built the stories against the whole house, each five cubits high; and they were fastened to the house with timbers of cedar.
