1 Kings - Chapter 5

	1Ki 5:1	Now Hiram ²⁴³⁸ king ⁴⁴²⁸ of Tyre ⁶⁸⁶⁵ sent ⁷⁹⁷¹ his servants ⁵⁶⁵⁰ to Solomon, ⁸⁰¹⁰ when ³⁵⁸⁸ he heard ⁸⁰⁸⁵ that they had anointed ⁴⁸⁸⁶ him king ⁴⁴²⁸ in place ⁸⁴⁷⁸ of his father, ¹ for Hiram ²⁴³⁸ had ¹⁹⁶¹ always ³⁶⁰⁵ ³¹¹⁷ been ¹⁹⁶¹ a friend ¹⁵⁷ of David. ¹⁷³²
	1Ki 5:2	Then Solomon ⁸⁰¹⁰ sent ⁷⁹⁷¹ word to Hiram, ²⁴³⁸ saying, ⁵⁵⁹
	1Ki 5:3	"You know ³⁰⁴⁵ that David ¹⁷³² my father ¹ was unable ³⁸⁰⁸ ³²⁰¹ to build ¹¹²⁹ a house ¹⁰⁰⁴ for the name ⁸⁰³⁴ of the LORD ³⁰⁶⁸ his God ⁴³⁰ because ⁴⁴⁸⁰ ⁶⁴⁴⁰ of the wars ⁴⁴²¹ which ⁸³⁴ surrounded ⁵⁴³⁷ him, until ⁵⁷⁰⁴ the LORD ³⁰⁶⁸ put ⁵⁴¹⁴ them under ⁸⁴⁷⁸ the soles ³⁷⁰⁹ of his feet. ⁷²⁷²
	1Ki 5:4	"But now ⁶²⁵⁸ the LORD ³⁰⁶⁸ my God ⁴³⁰ has given ⁵¹¹⁷ me rest ⁵¹¹⁷ on every ⁵⁴³⁹ side ⁵⁴³⁹; there ³⁶⁹ is neither ³⁶⁹ adversary ⁷⁸⁵⁴ nor ³⁶⁹ misfortune ⁶²⁹⁴ ⁷⁴⁵¹.
	1Ki 5:5	"Behold, ²⁰⁰⁹ I intend ⁵⁵⁹ to build ¹¹²⁹ a house ¹⁰⁰⁴ for the name ⁸⁰³⁴ of the LORD ³⁰⁶⁸ my God, ⁴³⁰ as the LORD ³⁰⁶⁸ spoke ¹⁶⁹⁶ to David ¹⁷³² my father, ¹ saying, ⁵⁵⁹ 'Your son, ¹¹²¹ whom ⁸³⁴ I will set ⁵⁴¹⁴ on your throne ³⁶⁷⁸ in your place, ⁸⁴⁷⁸ he will build ¹¹²⁹ the house ¹⁰⁰⁴ for My name. ⁸⁰³⁴'
	1Ki 5:6	"Now ⁶²⁵⁸ therefore, command ⁶⁶⁸⁰ that they cut ³⁷⁷² for me cedars ⁷³⁰ from Lebanon, ³⁸⁴⁴ and my servants ⁵⁶⁵⁰ will be with your servants ⁵⁶⁵⁰; and I will give ⁵⁴¹⁴ you wages ⁷⁹³⁹ for your servants ⁵⁶⁵⁰ according to all ³⁶⁰⁵ that you say, ⁵⁵⁹ for you know ³⁰⁴⁵ that there ³⁶⁹ is no ³⁶⁹ one ³⁷⁶ among us who knows ³⁰⁴⁵ how to cut ³⁷⁷² timber ⁶⁰⁸⁶ like the Sidonians. ⁶⁷²²"
	1Ki 5:7	When Hiram ²⁴³⁸ heard ⁸⁰⁸⁵ the words ¹⁶⁹⁷ of Solomon, ⁸⁰¹⁰ he rejoiced ⁸⁰⁵⁵ greatly ³⁹⁶⁶ and said, ⁵⁵⁹ "Blessed ¹²⁸⁸ be the LORD ³⁰⁶⁸ today, ³¹¹⁷ who ⁸³⁴ has given ⁵⁴¹⁴ to David ¹⁷³² a wise ²⁴⁵⁰ son ¹¹²¹ over ⁵⁹²¹ this ²⁰⁸⁸ great ⁷²²⁷ people. ⁵⁹⁷¹"
	1Ki 5:8	So Hiram ²⁴³⁸ sent ⁷⁹⁷¹ word to Solomon, ⁸⁰¹⁰ saying, ⁵⁵⁹ "I have heard ⁸⁰⁸⁵ the message which ⁸³⁴ you have sent ⁷⁹⁷¹ me; I will do ⁶²¹³ what ²⁶⁵⁶ you desire ²⁶⁵⁶ concerning the cedar ⁷³⁰ and cypress ¹²⁶⁵ timber. ⁶⁰⁸⁶
	1Ki 5:9	"My servants ⁵⁶⁵⁰ will bring ³³⁸¹ them down ³³⁸¹ from Lebanon ³⁸⁴⁴ to the sea ³²²⁰; and I will make ⁷⁷⁶⁰ them into rafts ¹⁷⁰² to go by sea ³²²⁰ to the place ⁴⁷²⁵ where ⁸³⁴ you direct ⁷⁹⁷¹ me, and I will have them broken ⁵³¹⁰ up there, ⁸⁰³³ and you shall carry ⁵³⁷⁵ them away. Then you shall accomplish ⁶²¹³ my desire ²⁶⁵⁶ by giving ⁵⁴¹⁴ food ³⁸⁹⁹ to my household. ¹⁰⁰⁴"
	1Ki 5:10	So Hiram ²⁴³⁸ gave ⁵⁴¹⁴ Solomon ⁸⁰¹⁰ as much ³⁶⁰⁵ as he desired ²⁶⁵⁶ of the cedar ⁷³⁰ and cypress ¹²⁶⁵ timber. ⁶⁰⁸⁶
	1Ki 5:11	Solomon ⁸⁰¹⁰ then gave ⁵⁴¹⁴ Hiram ²⁴³⁸ 20,000 ⁶²⁴² ⁵⁰⁵ kors ³⁷³⁴ of wheat ²⁴⁰⁶ as food ⁴³⁶¹ for his household, ¹⁰⁰⁴ and twenty ⁶²⁴² kors ³⁷³⁴ of beaten ³⁷⁹⁵ oil ⁸⁰⁸¹; thus ³⁵⁴¹ Solomon ⁸⁰¹⁰ would give ⁵⁴¹⁴ Hiram ²⁴³⁸ year ⁸¹⁴¹ by year. ⁸¹⁴¹
	1Ki 5:12	The LORD ³⁰⁶⁸ gave ⁵⁴¹⁴ wisdom ²⁴⁵¹ to Solomon, ⁸⁰¹⁰ just ⁸³⁴ as He promised ¹⁶⁹⁶ him; and there was peace ⁷⁹⁶⁵ between ⁹⁹⁶ Hiram ²⁴³⁸ and Solomon, ⁸⁰¹⁰ and the two ⁸¹⁴⁷ of them made ³⁷⁷² a covenant. ¹²⁸⁵
	1Ki 5:13	Now King ⁴⁴²⁸ Solomon ⁸⁰¹⁰ levied ⁵⁹²⁷ forced ⁴⁵²² laborers ⁴⁵²² from all ³⁶⁰⁵ Israel ³⁴⁷⁸; and the forced ⁴⁵²² laborers ⁴⁵²² numbered ¹⁹⁶¹ 30,000 ⁷⁹⁷⁰ ⁵⁰⁵ men. ³⁷⁶
	1Ki 5:14	He sent ⁷⁹⁷¹ them to Lebanon, ³⁸⁴⁴ 10,000 ⁶²³⁵ ⁵⁰⁵ a month ²³²⁰ in relays ²⁴⁸⁷; they were in Lebanon ³⁸⁴⁴ a month ²³²⁰ and two ⁸¹⁴⁷ months ²³²⁰ at home. ¹⁰⁰⁴ And Adoniram ¹⁴¹ was over ⁵⁹²¹ the forced ⁴⁵²² laborers. ⁴⁵²²
	1Ki 5:15	Now Solomon ⁸⁰¹⁰ had ¹⁹⁶¹ 70,000 ⁷⁶⁵⁷ ⁵⁰⁵ transporters ⁵⁴⁴⁹ ⁵³⁷⁵, and 80,000 ⁸⁰⁸⁴ ⁵⁰⁵ hewers ²⁶⁷² of stone in the mountains, ²⁰²²
	1Ki 5:16	besides ⁹⁰⁵ ⁴⁴⁸⁰ Solomon's ⁸⁰¹⁰ 3,300 ⁷⁹⁶⁹ ⁵⁰⁵ ⁷⁹⁶⁹ ³⁹⁶⁷ chief ⁸²⁶⁹ deputies ⁵³²⁴ who ⁸³⁴ were over ⁵⁹²¹ the project ⁴³⁹⁹ and who ruled ⁷²⁸⁷ over the people ⁵⁹⁷¹ who were doing ⁶²¹³ the work. ⁴³⁹⁹
	1Ki 5:17	Then the king ⁴⁴²⁸ commanded, ⁶⁶⁸⁰ and they quarried ⁵²⁶⁵ great ¹⁴¹⁹ stones, ⁶⁸ costly ³³⁶⁸ stones, ⁶⁸ to lay ³²⁴⁵ the foundation ³²⁴⁵ of the house ¹⁰⁰⁴ with cut ¹⁴⁹⁶ stones. ⁶⁸
	1Ki 5:18	So Solomon's ⁸⁰¹⁰ builders ¹¹²⁹ and Hiram's ²⁴³⁸ builders ¹¹²⁹ and the Gebalites ¹³⁸² cut ⁶⁴⁵⁸ them, and prepared ³⁵⁵⁹ the timbers ⁶⁰⁸⁶ and the stones ⁶⁸ to build ¹¹²⁹ the house. ¹⁰⁰⁴
