2 Chronicles / Question
Question source
2 Chronicles
Solomon asked Huram for a skilled craftsman and for timber—cedar, fir, and algum—from Lebanon. He also described the scale of offerings and supplies needed for the work (2 Chronicles 2:7-10).
7Now therefore send me a man skillful to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, and in iron, and in purple, and crimson, and blue, and who knows how to engrave [all manner of] engravings, [to be] with the skillful men who are with me in Judah and in Jerusalem, whom David my father did provide.
8Send me also cedar-trees, fir-trees, and algum-trees, out of Lebanon; for I know that your servants know how to cut timber in Lebanon: and, behold, my servants shall be with your servants,
9even to prepare me timber in abundance; for the house which I am about to build shall be great and wonderful.
10Behold, I will give to your servants, the cutters who 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.
