2 Chronicles 2:8 [2:9]

In context

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.” 10Huram king of Tyre replied in a letter that he sent to Solomon: “Because Yahweh loves his people, he has set you over them as king.”
