2 Chronicles 2:7 [2:8]

In context

5Yet who has the strength to build him a house, when the heavens and the highest heavens cannot hold him? And who am I to build him a house, except as a place to burn offerings before him? 6So send me a man skilled in working gold, silver, bronze and iron, and purple, crimson and violet yarn, and trained in every kind of engraving, to work beside the craftsmen I have here with me in Judah and Jerusalem, whom my father David provided. 7Send me also cedar, cypress and algum logs from Lebanon, for I know that your servants are expert at felling the trees of Lebanon; and my own servants will be there with your servants 8to prepare timber for me in quantity, since the house I am building is to be great and astonishing. 9And to the woodcutters who fell the trees I will give, for your servants, twenty thousand cors of crushed wheat, twenty thousand cors of barley, twenty thousand baths of wine and twenty thousand baths of oil.”
