2 Chronicles 2:9-11

New International Reader's Version

⁹ They’ll provide me with plenty of lumber. That’s because the temple I’m building must be large and beautiful. ¹⁰ I’ll pay your servants. They will cut the wood. I’ll pay them 3,600 tons of wheat that has been ground up. I’ll pay them 3,000 tons of barley. I’ll also pay them 120,000 gallons of wine and 120,000 gallons of olive oil.”

¹¹ King Hiram of Tyre replied to Solomon. He wrote a letter to him. In it Hiram said,

“The Lord loves his people. That’s why he has made you their king.”
