1 Kings 5:4-6

Revised Geneva Translation

⁴ “But now the LORD my God has given me rest on every side. There is neither adversary nor evil to resist.

⁵ “And behold, I intend to build a House to the Name of the LORD my God, as the LORD spoke to David my father, saying, ‘Your son, whom I will set upon your throne for you, he shall build a House to My Name.’

⁶ “Now, therefore, command that they cut me cedar trees out of Lebanon. And my servants shall be with your servants, and I will give you the wages for your servants, according to all that you shall appoint. For you know that there are none among us who can cut timber like the Sidonians!”
