and ouerseers.
1 Hiram also the king of Tyre sent his seruantes to Salomon:
for he heard that they had auointed him king
for his father: because Hiram had bene Dauids frend at al
time.
2 And Salomon sent to Hiram, saying:
3 Thou knowest
the wil of Dauid my father, and that he could not build

imminent round about vntil our Lord put them vnder the sole
of his feete.
4 But now our Lord my God hath geuen me rest
round about: and there is no satan, nor il rencounter.
5 Wherfore
I purpose to build a temple to the name of our Lord my
God, as our Lord hath spoken to Dauid my father, saying: Thy
sonne, whom I wil geue for thee vpon thy throne, he shal
build a house to my name.
6 Command therfore that thy
seruantes cut me downe cedres out of Libanus, and let my
seruantes be with thy seruantes: and I wil geue thee the hire
of thy seruantes whatsoeuer thou wilt aske, for thou knowest
how there is not in my people a man that hath skil to hew
wood as the Sidonians.
7 When Hiram therfore had heard the
wordes of Salomon, he reioysed excedingly, and said: Blessed
be the Lord God this day, who hath geuen vnto Dauid a sonne
most wise ouer this people so great in number.
8 And Hiram
sent to Salomon, saying: I haue heard whatsoeuer thou hast
willed me: I wil doe al thy wil in cedre trees, and firre trees.
9 My seruantes shal bring them downe from Libanus to the
sea: and I wil put them in boates in the sea, vnto the place,
which thou shalt signifie to me; and wil land them there, and
thou shalt take them: and thou shalt allow me necessaries,
that there be meate geuen for my house.
10 Therfore Hiram
gaue Salomon cedre trees, and firre trees, according to al his
wil.
11 And Salomon allowed Hiram twentie thousand cores
of wheate, for prouision for his house, and twentie cores of
most pure oile: these thinges did Salomon geue to Hiram
euerie yeare.
12 Our Lord also gaue wisedom to Salomon, as he
spake to him: & there was peace betwen Hiram & Salomon,
and both made a league.
13 And king Salomon chose workmen
out of al Israel, and the taxed number was of thirtie
thousand men.
14 And he sent them into Libanus, ten thousand
euerie moneth by course, so that two monethes they
were in their houses: and Adoniram was ouer this taxing.
15 And Salomon had seuentie thousand of them that caried
burdens, and eightie thousand hewers of stones in the mountaine:
16 besides the ouerseers which were ouer euerie worke,
in number three thousand, and three hundred that commanded
the people, and them that did the worke.
17 And the
king commanded, that they should take great stones, chosen
stones for the foundation of the temple, and should square
