2 Chronicles 2:8-12

[8] Send  me also cedar  trees,  fir trees,  and algum trees,  out of Lebanon:  for I know  that thy servants  can skill  to cut  timber  in Lebanon;  and, behold, my servants  [9] Even to prepare  me timber  in abundance:  for the house  which I am about to build  shall be wonderful  great.  [10] And, behold, I will give  to thy servants,  the hewers  that cut  timber,  twenty  thousand  measures  of beaten  wheat,  and twenty  thousand  measures  of barley,  and twenty  thousand  baths  of wine,  and twenty  thousand  baths  of oil.  [11] Then Huram  the king  of Tyre  answered  in writing,  which he sent  to Solomon,  Because the LORD  hath loved  his people,  he hath made  thee king  [12] Huram  said  moreover, Blessed  be the LORD  God  of Israel,  that made  heaven  and earth,  who hath given  to David  the king  a wise  son,  endued  with prudence  and understanding,  that might build  an house  for the LORD,  and an house  for his kingdom.
